Telephones are just about the worst way to have a conversation. In writing (ok, email), I can carefully consider my words and get a reply that (I hope) is also carefully considered. Face to face, I can monitor the other person's reactions to what I'm saying and be clued in fairly quickly if I'm giving an impression other than the one I meant. Phones are real-time and non-visual -- the worst of both worlds.

Phones are for making queries, conveying information, syncing with other people on short notice, etc. They are not for real conversations. I wish more people believed that.

Wow.
May I say that I believe you absolutely correct?
I will refrain from calling you to do so. :)
