It's sad if that's been your experience. Maybe I've been lucky, but it's 
a few rather than most who have been like that for me.

One thing I have noticed in recent times with increasing use of text 
only email - things can often be beautifully explained in a few words a 
a quick sketch, but are very difficult to convey in words only without 
diagrams or waving hands. Numerous times I've seen people trying to be 
brief in a message ending up appearing brusque and arrogant when I know 
they are just the opposite if you're sitting with them.
