Why I Prefer to Connect via Email

I prefer email over texting for a few reasons; here are two:

Using email to reach me means I can respond to timely messages very quickly, often within minutes. So if you're in a hurry to reach me, please email.

There are other reasons I prefer email: searching is better, no spam control for texting, better message organization, can have different addresses for different functions, and more.

However,  I know I'm an oddball and many people prefer texting. If we're friends and you have an iPhone, texting is fine because I can get those on my laptop, even if my phone is off or in airplane mode. If it's a message with lasting value, I still prefer email since it'll be easier to search for later if need be. 

One criticism of email I've heard is that it's more work to send an email. I get it... there's the subject, the salutation, the message, and the signature. For short messages, consider sending a blank email with your message as the subject. That's no more work than sending a text.
