This IDEA keeps coming up. Just a reminder..People have been corresponding by mail....via letters..in print..handwriting..for
Centuries. WHY would the internet be any different.
Is it because internet is INSTANT and people don't take the time to THINK..before responding.................NB
PS: In those
OLD days we never had
Smiley Faces...
