There are people that you text and you have a texting relationship. There are people that you Whatsapp and you have a Whatsapp relationship. There are people that you Slack and you have a Slack relationship. Email seems to be the kind of amorphous ambiguous giant sloppy blanket that seems to insinuate itself between all of those mediums.
