But in today's postmodern wireless world, the same now ex-geeks, probably retired millionaires or your bosses, are pushing back against the Sisyphean chore of e-mail. Nearly two-thirds of experienced computer users delay returning personal e-mails from one to three days, when they once would have immediately responded. Sometimes, it's even up to a week, and all, in perhaps an ultimately vain attempt, to reclaim their personal lives. Meanwhile, e-mail novices usually reflect the mentality of their forebears by constantly firing back replies. [L.A. Times, 5/17/05]email

Sometimes, I take a whole week or two, depending on whether I like the person or not :-)
sadly, i do do the insta-reply, but have been working hard to pace myself and yes actually reclaim leisure time.
