This post crops up enough and annoys me enough that I wrote a full response to it: https://floverfelt.org/posts/it-is-your-responsibility-to-re...

It's pretty sad that we've reached the point of spamming close friends just to get their attention, though I understand exactly what he's talking about. I just don't think it translates at all to a knowledge work setting.

If you have to spam me to get my attention, you probably aren't actually a friend of mine, just an acquaintance that I continue to tolerate because you haven't done anything egregious enough to deserve being told to fuck off and die. Spamming me will erode my tolerance very quickly.

There is really only one person to whom I have a responsibility to respond, and we've been married twenty years. Everybody else can damn well wait -- possibly until the first Tuesday after Ragnarok.
