I have read time and time again that email just doesn't have the same power as a written and stamped letter. I say write your feelings out, then print it, stuff an envelope, and mail that sucker off. Perhaps a letter writing campain is in order... Hell, it got Star Trek back on the air... People are used to dealing with large quantaties of email that all say the same thing; it's called SPAM. A letter has wieght and needs to be opened and can look or smell or feel any way you want it to. I get tons of email a day but a letter from a friend will sit on my desk LONG after my trash folder has been empty.
