[PLUG-TALK] email hours etiquette THANKS

[Tomas Kuchta]

Some people like staying up at night. I am one of them, and I know many
others.

The work is the most common convenient excuse given to
partners/parents/bosses. Emailing people at a specific hour in different
time zone is pretty innovative --> my partner would not fall for that, I am
105% sure! LOL

You know there is 'at' command to send your email later. Some email clients
and services can do scheduled emails and SMS send.

Just saying, T
