Explaining why you get different responses in different places

If you email me then I can reply from either my phone, or forward it to
myself at work and reply from there, depending on the content and urgency.

If you leave a comment on my LJ then I can get to it from work, and write a
decent reply using a proper keyboard, when I have the time.

If you leave a comment on my DW or Facebook then I can only get to it from
my phone, and will probably write a terse reply using Swype, which is
awesome, but still slower than a full-size keyboard.

If you reply to me on Twitter and a well thought-out response would take
more than 140 characters, then I'm not going to reply at all because
multiple-tweet statements are the spawn of the devil. If it requires a
link, or anything else complex, I might reply when I get home, if I can be
bothered. If a simple response will do then I'll respond via my phone, but
frankly I find Twitter conversations to be a right pain.
