I am an avid e-mailer. I use the internet everyday. However, I am increasingly concerned about the negative aspects of electronic communications. Do not let the haphazard information available on the internet displace the refined, copyedited, and revised information contained in more traditional outlets. Only post to the listserv a comment you would say in class.
Computer technology is a harsh technology.
Be careful that a quick response is not harsher than you mean it to be. Do not submit an assigned paper by fax or e-mail. Do not leave phone messages because you are afraid to come and face the music. I will not play phonetag.
