For email, the old postcard rule applies. Nobody else is supposed to read your postcards, but you'd be a fool if you wrote anything private on one.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Each year, in my quaint efforts to send out paper holiday cards with personal messages, I probably discard one for every three I actually manage to put in the mail. The reason is that my handwriting is now less legible than it was when I was in the second grade.
E-mail also changed things in that you don't have to write a full document to discuss something. You can just send an e-mail to a list.
Letters are something from you. It's a different kind of intention than writing an e-mail.
When you're sent something and read it, either you can see it while you read it, or you can't.
I don't use e-mail or u-mail or whatever it's called.
The post office doesn't guarantee delivery, but it tries really hard. It's called best efforts communication. If you put two postcards in the post-box, they don't necessarily come out then in the same order that you put them in. So, that means that there's potentially disorder with your delivery, and that's also true in the Internet.
Email is very informal, a memo. But I find that not signing off or not having a salutation bothers me.
I don't think you can write according to a set of rules and laws; every writer is so different.
I'm pretty satisfied with how 'Postcard' turned out. I think everybody did a great job.
The leakage of information means you're going to be able to read everybody's e-mail.
