email culture introduction

We seem to currently work in an email culture where the way a person shows they are doing something is to email someone or a group of individuals to point it out.

Whole organizations of administrators seem to spend their days doing nothing but reading and sending email.

If you want something done, you email the idea, as if the generation of the email is equivalent to actually doing the work.

It seems that people are too often trying to cover themselves (CYA) by cc'ing everyone and anyone who might be remotely involved.

We see the common offense on group email replies, where no matter how menial the issue, individuals reply  to all with their personal insignificant answer, as IF we ALL care to know what THEY  are doing or thinking at any moment in time.
