Yes, I realize the modern incarnation of the telegraph is email, but I was using it in its strictest sense, as designed by Joseph Henry and along with Samuel Morse's system for coding and further refinement to the device in the 1830's is a far departure from its current version. But we are treading into the territory of symantics at this point.

I do agree 100% on you statement. If you want it, pick up the phone or get in the car. E-mail is probably only most usefull for spreading of virii to unsuspecting individuals, and advertisement of gender enhancing devices and pills.
