How painful. 2-3 minute messages x 20-30 messages means 40-90 minutes
of listening to others jabber. MUCH worse than e-mail communication.
The sad truth is that it is much quicker to leave a message via voice
(less time for the person leaving the message), but retrieving a
message is much quicker done via e-mail (reading is infinitely faster
than waiting for some slowly-unraveling-imprecise-meanders left via voice).
Anyway, the asymmetry is worth noting.
