Slow email replies cause serious anxiety

I've found if I reply too quickly it often ends up creating more messages than if I just sit on things for a while. People often seem to resolve their own problems if you give them some time.

If they have a problem with that then that really is their problem, not mine.

This. Not sure why 'Send in x min/hours/point_in_future' isn't a more common feature of communication software.

Using the Unix philosophy, you're supposed to use `mail` and `at`. ;-)

I'm aware of it, and I can't believe such a simple service is a paid add on.
