With all our latest advances in technoloy, why on Earth hasn't anyone invented email retrieval? Why must things be convienently sent with a push of a button? Like, you sort of have letter retrieval. If you didn't mean to send a letter, you can always try to stick your head in the mailbox and reach for it. Or be like Homer Simpson and shove a hose down the mailbox, though I think that may be against the law. Actually, it's really hard to accidentally mail a letter because you have to seal the envelope and buy a stamp and walk to the mailbox.

But email?! It's easy to absent-mindedly hit "Send," when you meant "Delete." Too easy. Like you realized your boss made a mistake on your schedule, so you sent her an email reminding her, but you thought it sounded too snotty, so you decided to not send the email and call her, but you accidentally hit "Send," so you sent her another email apologizing, so to prevent yourself from sounding like a total asshole, you offered to find a sub yourself for every stinking shift she scheduled you on that you told her previously you can't work. Damn it. I mean, that's just hypothetically speaking. Not saying that actually happened. Yeah, moving on...

I mean, mySpace has the option where you can delete messages you sent...

Kris,

Thanks goodness my work e-mail has a "message re-call" button and it has saved me from looking like a total knuckle head. Aunt Karen
