Re:Ask HN: Interview Thank You Emails. Necessary? by baddox on Wednesday September 22, 2010 @07:15PM (#1717923)
When you talk about the time it takes to compose and send a physical letter, I simply don't agree or understand. How does taking more time mean you're more thoughtful, serious, or classical? If you're just saying that snail mail seems classy because of its cultural significance, then I understand, but just taking a long time alone doesn't seem particularly thoughtful, serious, or classy.

think of it this way, I could be doing something else while I was composing your letter. Also hand written things are always much more personal than email.
