What kind of emailer are you?
Jack-e Collins
Her breathless emails usually begin with you wont believe this but !!!. No tit-bit is too small to fan into a firestorm of hot, hot, hot gossip. Close scrutiny of her PC will reveal a disproportionate amount of wear on the ! key. e-nid Blyton
Like the best purveyors of literature for the immature, this lad (hes usually a lad) always illustrates his work. Hes particularly fond of brightly coloured pictures of comedy genitalia, urine-drinking monkeys and ladies engaging in friendly hugs and kisses.
My personal favourite is the picture of the foreskin being nailed to a floorboard, which manages to both charm and inform (well, I didnt know you could do that with a foreskin). Recently e-nid and his ilk have faced the sack from employers who havent taken well to their cheery pictorial exchanges humourless, book-burning fascists, the lot of them.

Forget your reading glasses. Youll be better off with a machete because reading his emails requires you to hack through layers of clumsy construction and tedious repetition to reach the sense beneath. The trouble is that when you get there you invariably find it wasnt worth bothering with in the first place.
This tech-head spurns any attempt at engaging his readers in an emotional, character-driven narrative. He much prefers to give them an arcane jumble of technical jargon.
Where Clancy has detailed descriptions of the workings of nuclear-powered hunter-killer subs and laser-guided smart bombs, this boy writes about LAN servers, ISDN links and other things I havent a bloody clue about.
But, listen up, Hollywood, his emails would probably make excellent action flicks starring Denzel Washington or Harrison Ford (and I understand that Alec Baldwin comes fairly cheap these days).
