Ehh, oops... Try again... IIUC, yes. Meta-content in an online setting (!) might generalize about online discussions. Reflexive content would talk (not take!) about itself. This discussion for example, has entered meta-content in some sense, but hadn't been reflexive - until this sentence. :) -eg

You might want to have a look at a paper of Sonja Utz: Strategic Email Use. It addresses exactly the distinction between private and professional usage of email.
