I admit I reply to my work e-mails including at 2am when I am at home, and get shocked replies. But no one can be always be available like that.

right on!
i really wish my e-mail and txt messages on my phone had an "away-message"
alot of people who carry phones with them all the time assume that if they send you a text message, that you have to get it and must reply instantly.... sometimes i can't! last time at disney i was in space mountain as my phone buzzed with a txt, i hit ignore and proceeded to board the ride... only to get the message, "whats a matter, not talking to me today?" before i could even yank the phone out of my pocket....
the idea that people can't pick up the phone and type crap out sometimes, and that people actually don't carry PC's in there pockets 24/7 doesnt seem to exist for some people.
lol endless rant, but i forsee hopefully as this technology rolls into the future, we should see more common rules and mannors fall into place, such as with telephones.... by then again, i still know people who call and call over and over untill someone picks up
