Thank you for your thoughts. Isn't it interesting that the ideas of Darwin and Thoreau have never been more pertinent - that is, evolution and living deliberately? As for "email bankruptcy," a forum for ideas isn't necessarily a place for obligatory correspondence. Print writers of all kinds receive letters, but do we, as writers of such letters, have a right to expect replies or want to elicit feelings of guilt if no response is sent? No. I do, however, expect feelings of guilt if I don't reply to my sister, son, mother, or they to me, no matter what method of correspondence.
