That is sort of like saying that radio is dead having been
replaced by moving pictures and television.

In any case, I almost always prefer interacting via my own mailbox,
which tracks threads quite nicely, rather than clicking
through endless page reloads on forums, or hoping to time
things just right to find an interesting conversation on a
chat room.

It is very strange to to think that I'm considered a
technological relic by rejecting the text/twitter/chat
modes of communication in favor of full sentences and
paragraphs via email.
