I frequently just sign my name with my first initial. Of course I usually do this if there is some context - maybe we'd been talking about a paper and a student wanted me to send the paper so there's an email with the title 'paper' and an attachment. Or an email to our regular lunch group with the subject "Burrito?" and no text. I wouldn't necessarily defend my long tome emails (unless I am purposefully documenting something in writing for future reference) but I love short, efficient emails. Of course they have to be long enough to convey the required information and the reader has to understand them. But life would be much better with more short, efficient emails.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29059245.post-73088489746525352532012-03-18T16:18:17.871-05:002012-03-18T16:18:17.871-05:00I'm here.
