Digitalfox Posted October 19, 2001 Share Posted October 19, 2001 From corporate America to Congress, executives and regulators concerned about the growing number of letters infected with the deadly bacterium are urging people to communicate through e-mail instead of sending letters through the U.S. Postal Service. On Tuesday, the Arizona Daily Star announced that the Tucson newspaper would no longer accept regular postal mail addressed to "Letters to the Editor" and other popular feedback forums. Instead, editor and publisher Jane Amari told readers, the paper is asking people to send all correspondence by e-mail, fax or through an online calendar. Today more than half of all Americans use e-mail, for an average of a half-hour each day, according to a recent report by Forrester Research. Another research company, Jupiter Media Metrix, predicts that by 2006, 140 million Americans will be "active" e-mail users, up from 87 million this year. www.netscape.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
