Replies to scathing attack on large emails....

[Heidi Schweingruber]

Glenn,

Just wanted to add to the mix here. I actually receive your e-mails at home
using a rather slow modem. This means that I am often hung up for awhile
waiting for the images to download. But do I whine about it?  Nooooooo. I
am so
hungry for your tales from the field and the superb photos that accompany them
that I consider the wait to be well worth it. It's usually a good opportunity
for me to grab a snack, change my kid's diaper, watch Oprah or something.

So I think you should let the offenders off the hook. At least they are
responding! I myself have been a terrible cyber correspondent and probably
deserve some chastizing for that. (But, I use parenthood and a newly mobile
toddler as my excuse).

Keep the messages coming. It's nice to live vicariously through someone else's
adventure.

Your pal in Euchre, pizza and late night conversation in the hall.

        -Heidi
