This is me - I usually hate trying to have significant communication via e-mail, although I really hate I.M. That is not to say that I won't break off a longer heart felt e-mail now and then, and I see the virtue of properly used I.M., but I hate getting caught in an escalating e-mail exchange where my every reply/response engenders a longer e-mail with more gartuitious detail and more questions to which I am supposed to respond.
