The Boidem's own Believe It or Not!

A couple of weeks ago I sent an e-mail message to a face-to-face friend. It was little more than a link to something which I was quite sure would interest him. Though I have no problem with the idea of my face-to-face and my virtual lives being conducted on parallel and never intersecting tracks (which is, of course, a logical topic for a column) in this particular case I was very curious as to whether he'd checked out the link I'd sent him, and how he responded to it. Upon seeing him I said to him "did you get around to checking the link I sent you?" to which he responded "I never check my e-mail".

I admittedly didn't know how to respond. After all, if someone has an e-mail account, we sort of assume that they use it. But perhaps that's not as logical an assumption as it may seem.
