Hi Crystal,

What a timely article. I was interviewed today on radio about email etiquette and one of the questions that I was asked was about the value of the PS or post script.

I said that it is a great little tool and is the second most read item on a letter. So your article validates my opinion which is great and your examples are fantastic, I wish I had read them before the interview!.

I love the way you combine postal mail with email; after all they are two forms of communication that are very similar. I grieve the end of postal mail - I used to love getting letters in the post. The opening of the envelope, taking out the folded pieces of paper. I'm all nostalgic now!

Lovely article - I wasn't aware of the term Johnson Box and yet I used it my own ezines last year. I'll test a bit more in my next email.

Thanks for a really useful article.

Take care

Denise
