@ploum
ah mais MERCI pour cet article.
J'essaie de me débarasser de ma culpabilité de répondre très en retard à tous les mails que je reçois.
Et tu as raison : le mail est un média asynchrone. Il ne faut pas se sentir forcé de répondre immédiatement.

@ploum have you tried replying “well it’s too late for that, I missed my bus/flight/wedding thanks to your totally inability to respond to me in a timely manner”.

Worth a try…

@ploum We seem to have forgotten that responding is a right, not an obligation. In part, it is due to the reprogramming carried out by the companies that own the instant messaging applications.
