What is this obsession with _voice_ communications? I communicate much better in writing.

    Efficiency and multi-tasking.

    You have all ten fingers free to type when you're on a hands-free speaker phone. When you're tied up typing on a chat site, you don't. :-)

    Not to mention that voice communications are typically orders of magnitude *faster*, especially when it comes to convenying intagibles like mood and personality.

    Who said anything about voice communications?

    I use POTS and a modem for email, for example...
