It helps to keep in mind that different forms of communication are suited to different purposes. Email I think is great for business interactions, but it's ineffective when you're trying to make a personal impact. There's also the factor of whether or not you're a better speaker or better writer. Go with your strengths. Scott,

I try to stick to short emails with a clear purpose, and appreciate the same from folks in most cases. It gets hard to accomplish much when you are digging through many paragraphs, and some of these have questions that probably need an answer. Your point about clearly requiring feedback or not is an often overlooked one. You make good points.
