I see 2 problems with e-mail:
1)The person is forced to download it, and the last thing I would want to do is
waste the time of a writer, especially when that time might better be spent writing something.
2)I'm just never sure what to put in an e-mail, and I usually end up sounding like a slavering fanboy (ask Gryphon, my e-mail is dakamar.geo@yahoo.com, but it might have been dakamar@geocities.com) whenever I send something to someone that has done/written/etc. something that I like, so I usually just end up not writing it.

And I'm rambling so I'll shut up now.
