Or the lengths we go to for email. Ha.

From here (thanks Lifehacker):

Designer Mike Davidson says many email messages he receives take more time for him to answer than they did for the sender to write. So he’s instituted a new email policy: no message he sends out will be more than 5 sentences.

And also see this:

Everyone’s so worried about offending by email that they try to make it more human and more friendly at the cost to everyone’s productivity, without a great increase in human connection. While short snappy emails and short snappy replies might come across as curt, research suggests that such messages lead to the highest productivity. That’s because short emails are easy to handle. They keep communications moving along in a way that long emails don’t.
