If you only use email, then yes. But if you do use the phone, either direct or IP-based, or if you use IRC or other form of chat, then it definitely does matter. Also if you use email transactionally -- if you expect someone to do something for you, it pays to know whether they are likely to respond today or tomorrow. -- All Gaul is divided into three parts: the part John Cowan that cooks with lard and goose fat, the part www.ccil.org/~cowan that cooks with olive oil, and the part that www.reutershealth.com cooks with butter. -- David Chessler jcowan@reutershealth.com
