There can be players from throughout the world, but with E-Mail, across the globe is only a few miles away. E-mail can be delivered all the way around the world in a mere 7 seconds. Isn't that a lot faster (and cheaper) than any paper based mail carrier could ever hope for?.... And have you ever tried to save a piece of paper to your hard drive without using a scanner?.....
