To sit down, find an envelope, and actually put 35 cents on the thing requires more forethought and commitment than firing off an email. It also takes at least several minutes to do, so there will be a bit more composition of thought than in an email. People are also a lot more used to getting emails than snail mails I suppose. And just look at corporate culture. I can think back on several emails received in the past year which would have been classified as 'angry'. But a few:) here & there sorted that out. The language was very colloquial too.
Then you look at snail mail. I don't think I ever got handwritten snail mail with smiley faces. Aside from the grandparents of course.
So what have we learned? Vampires shouldn't have been all that scary, what with their fascination with counting games. Werewolves were probably just really, really twisted freaks who thought blaming magic belts and salve would somehow not earn them a spot on the burning stake. And zombies may actually be real. Throw in the fear of witches, fairies, and evil spirits and it's a wonder our ancestors ever got any sleep at night. Must be how alcohol was invented.
Our ancestors probably didn't have the governments terrorizing them!

Picture 5, ALICE is having my babies. No seriously, imagine what kind of convoluted science we can do with this baby...
