I can't imagine living without e-mail. Well, I guess I can because I'm of the generation that actually did. But you get my point. It's a great way to get the word out about something fast. Neighborhood news, such as who's bringing the baked beans to the 4th of July picnic, is perfectly handled via e-mail, especially when most of us have full-time jobs. But sometimes e-mail can embolden even the most sensitive soul to be ungracious. For example,  I was recently copied on a string of e-mails that escalated into a cyber cat fight between 2 of the 20 recipients. The "REPLY ALLS" were flying.  Ladies, really? Whether cordial or contentious, if a matter can't be handled by an e-mail or two or is sensitive in nature, pick up the phone or better yet, actually meet face to face and not Facebook to Facebook.
