There goes that idea
I used to like the asynchronicity of email. I could compose the perfect missive at 2am, or 4am, safe in the knowledge that the intended recipient would receive it at their leisure.
But now push email sends messages to people's phones, and ... occasionally wakes them up at 2am. So unfair. Do I have to compose and send all email in normal human waking time (as opposed to my waking time) to remain on good terms? Gah.
[ETA: I know that I would turn off my notifications -- I love bedside mode in blackberry 4.6 because it only lets through those emergency calls/texts and not emails -- but it strikes me that my point here is about the underlying change in the nature of how we should see email, rather than a miss manners query.]
