[PLUG-TALK] email hours etiquette

[Keith Lofstrom]

For many decades, I sent email to computers that I and my 
correspondents log into.  No ding or beep when a message
arrives.  If a conversation is urgent, I watch a scrolling
window for replies.  If it is very urgent, or between
Europe or East Asia, I stay up late for it.

I don't use a "smart" phone (aka dodopaddle), so I don't
understand dodopaddle email timing etiquette in 2025. 
If I send an email at 1AM to a friend on the East Coast,
does it cause phone beeps that wake them at 4AM? 

I learned years ago to consider time zones when sending
email to deployed military and emergency responders, but
is that true for everyone-but-me in 2025?

I am sending this to plug-talk at 1AM PST.  Flame me if
it wakes you up.
