I'm pretty sure we all could list a hundred different reasons why this is bad. However, something positive will come out of this as well: first of all, we have all become like robots. Click-click-click - send message - click - send offer - click accept - click-click-click print shipping label. Some folks are too afraid to speak with me over the phone! People have become so comfortable in their own quiet digital world. Now this whole thing is going to make people get off their butts and pick up that phone. There will also be more coffee shop meetings, lunch meetings, and more transactions will be taking place in card shows. And finally, the BST board here (and all the other forums) will get better.
