I got this email about my erectile disfunction

Did the title grab your attention?!?

Was there any correspondence?

I just took the minutes of a meeting I'd previously agreed to be the secretary for.

Like many meetings, we quickly touched on any correspondence.

It was noted that the question of correspondence is becomingly increasingly irrelevant.

Sure, you still need to keep tack of important pieces of communication, but correspondence mattered much more when communication wasn't instant. You didn't just shoot off an email or converse over Facebook. Instead, you crafted and sent a letter. It was more formal, and often, more through out.

Now, if we tabled all the correspondence that went through, for example, the email address for a committee, we would be discussing correspondence for hours.

And who needs to hear that we got spam for Viagra?
