Five Sentence Emails (Amen to That)

Got this a few minutes ago from LJ:

The Problem
E-mail takes too long to respond to, resulting in continuous inbox overflow for those who receive a lot of it.

The Solution
Treat all email responses like SMS text messages, using a set number of letters per response. Since it's too hard to count letters, we count sentences instead.

Amen to this. Too often simple emails are treated like novels (hey, I'm guilty there) and those that need to be detailed end up being too short. Five sentences, we can do this (its done in this post not counting the quote).
