A comment on Meeting, Phone call or Email?.
-How well do you know the person.
-How important is this task, decision or event?
-How complex is the task, decision or event?
Meeting<---------------------------------------->Email
Don't know person well--------------------Know person well
Important---------------------------------Unimportant
Complex-----------------------------------Simple
If I don't know someone well they are more likely to misinterpret raw text (flame wars are a good example.) If something is unimportant then it doesn't matter if they misinterpret raw text. If something is simple then there is less to misinterpret.
