It would be interesting to see the poll results adjusted to the age of the responder. When I was away in undergrad I would talk to them once a week at the same time. Long distance was more than and they always called me back after refusing my collect call. When I was in grad school and post grad I talked to them less regularly but maybe a little more often. Now in my forties I talk to them almost daily (when we are both in town). There is usually some bit of info that needs to be shared and cell phones obviously change how we interact. I usually try to make a call on the way home. My brief commute tends to lend a natural way to limit the conversation.
