I will agree that EMAIL is easier to communicate, and that when communicating
people get a little sloppy, but I find it "distasteful" to be told that
because I'm doing something "on-line", I'm not going to think about it. If
this is the case, the entire reason for this EMAIL list fits your non-thinking
senerio, so it too should be dropped and "put to paper" and mailed.
It also seems to indicate that people who WORK on-line don't think about their
job. I for one find this "insulting" and "irresponsible preaching from
someone supposedly in a position such as grammarian.
