This was brought home to me fairly forcefully when I was talking with our 
moderator at a party.  We were in a conversation about general software 
development strategy, and he started what was obviously a choice remark 
about "Your options are either to ...  or to ...," but it was a long 
remark, and in the middle of the first half, someone came up and grabbed 
my elbow.  *Blank* went my mind.  I returned to the real world just in time 
to hear him say, "Do you know what I mean?"  "I'm not sure," I replied, and I
doubt if he could have repeated it.  Much as I like conversation, I wish 
that one had been conducted electronically.
