[13:53] skalifowitz: it NEVER ceases to amaze how no one is able to answer more than one question in an email
[13:53] avtlbinder: yea
[13:53] avtlbinder: that is truly remarkable
[13:53] skalifowitz: no one
[13:53] avtlbinder: i would LOVE to do a study on that
[13:53] skalifowitz: hahaha
[13:53] skalifowitz: I never get more than one question answered
[13:53] skalifowitz: and I've been working on the length of my emails
[13:53] avtlbinder: and what's really amazing is that I don't think you or I noticed this occuring before last year-ish
[13:53] skalifowitz: really hard
[13:53] skalifowitz: yeah
[13:54] skalifowitz: w/the publicist
[13:54] avtlbinder: yea
[13:54] skalifowitz: its b/c everyone is on their blackberries
[13:54] avtlbinder: well she was the most absurd
[13:54] skalifowitz: and they can only read a few lines at a time
[13:54] skalifowitz: so as they're responding, they forget there are more questions
[13:54] skalifowitz: and this is compounded by the fact that b/c they're on their blackberry
[13:54] skalifowitz: listening to their iPod
[13:54] skalifowitz: drinking their Starbucks
[13:54] avtlbinder: well i've read in several books that the average person can only hold seven things in their mind at any time
[13:54] skalifowitz: and smoking a cig
[13:55] skalifowitz: and talking on the phone
[13:55] avtlbinder: so if they're doing all that crap, and trying not to wander into traffic, then there's only room for one question
[13:55] skalifowitz: they can't concentrate on shit
[13:55] avtlbinder: Of course, I'd assume they could do one question at t ime, but you're right -- they just forget there are more than one question
[13:55] skalifowitz: its amazing
[13:55] skalifowitz: I was noticing it this morning while stumbling in to work
[13:55] skalifowitz: as I was looking at all the hipsters around where Justin lives
