Stand, fall, or lie down, JLA. There are degrees of nuance in every form of communication, some not present in other forms. A meeting in person is different from a telephone conversation is different from an online chat is different from a letter. In each form there are special nuances and things that can be more easily expressed than in others.

Example: One Saturday afternoon I was looking forward to dinner that night with a lover. (I am not parading my love life, BTW; this information is important to the point.) We were on the telephone planning dinner. We were also in an online chat and exchanging e-mails at the same time. There was something very personal and vital to understanding him that he found it difficult to share in person or on the telephone, despite how close we were. He was able to tell me during the chat.
