Email is no better or worse than we choose to make it.

Hello Baroness,

Yes, I can relate to you when you said one also have to entertain requests for help, advice, speeches, thoughts etc. Good thing I only sleep an average of four hours a night to the dismay of my doctor for its long term and old age effect. So she said.

But e-mails do enable one to reach anyone anywhere anytime. It is better and less intrusive and disruptive than handphones/cellphones.

Reading On Faith (among other sites and blogs) with diversity of views reminds one of the pluralism in views, shifting moods and opinions (and sometimes quite set and intractable ones) on everything from politics to economics to religion as well as the "why" beyond the known ones in our own circle of family, friends, colleagues and acquitances.

Talking with complete strangers in blogs is like talking to complete strangers in our travels - seated alongside us on planes, in airline lounges, in hotel lounges. People tend to be surprisingly and freely frank and open, perhaps because we are strangers who may not meet again, or in person in blogs.

Thank you and best regards

"J"
