Another important feature of text is that it hides the irrelevant features 
of the author.  None of us are completely immune to the bias of dialects, 
stuttering or lisps, charismatic voices, etc.
   
One day video mail (egads, there goes the bandwidth) may bring us the 
biases of race, age, gender (which is minimal now), and clothing choice.  
People will have their favorite "posting" hawaiian shirt near the
workstation.
