I particularly enjoy stories told through exchanging letters, emails, notes on the fridge and so on, so I was bound to enjoy this. The tricky bit is to make them sound different in writing. I know that's a problem with dialogue too, but I think there's something different about doing it when your characters are writing rather than speaking.

I like the way Bodie's punctuation and capitalisation improves all the way through, and that in the message at 1147 he got everything right except for capitalising Ray's name. Of all the things to get wrong!

I am so used to unconsciously correcting typos in what I read or receive that I didn't notice the "bloosy" typo the first time. So the "bloody^Wbloosy" joke sailed straight over my head.

The Washington story didn't strike me as forced; I could imagine him retelling that in person. "Yeah, right, so while _I_ was hard at work, _you_ were doing this, and this, and this.." in the way people drag "And _another_ thing.." in when they're letting off steam.

A minor thing perhaps, but I love the title, too! It fits its story perfectly.
