Cool! Thanks.

I can see myself possibly using the reference in two ways: I’ve been looking at email as a genre and some of the norms associated with emailing. This is a great sidebar to norms of non electronic letters. Also, I’m working on a movies and technology paper, looking at how movies reflect our attitudes toward technologies (I’m looking specifically at the phone, and computers/email over time). I might be able to drop this anecdote in.
