Pen pals and Internet

New, that was added in electronic correspondence in comparison with correspondence paper (due to using post programs) is an opportunity of putting a subject of the letter.
However a designation of a subject of the letter in electronic correspondence - the phenomenon not casual and completely not unnatural, and quite adequately reflecting specificity of an electronic exchange of letters. One correspondence from features in the Internet absence of a direct sequence of letters and answers to them is.

To open the inbox and to find there some letters from the same address - the phenomenon often enough for pen pals. Thus each letter, as a rule, consists of one subject which in the letter and develops.

Sharp increase of speed of correspondence and as consequence, amounts of letters, its components, - results, at the same time, to that the huge number of unanswered letters collects... In result frequently you answer (or you do not answer) simply for a voice, to simply concrete addressee, but - not on each concrete letter.
So, it is possible to ascertain one more feature of dialogue by means of electronic correspondence: loss of huge amount of senses as a result of a quantitative increment of the information. And losses frequently - simply literal: any information in the letter was forgot, the letter was postponed and in a result has got lost among huge number of other letters, and etc.

There is also one more feature of electronic correspondence: probability of a different sort of technical mistakes. It happened to all pen pals that they sent letter to the wrong address, automatically answered the letter intended to the collective addressee (therefore there was an automatic replacement of the addressee concrete on collective and the personal letter became object of a general review) or simply confused the address, pressing not on that line in a directory or in the list of addresses in the post program.
