Email conventions seeping into handwriting

[A. Vine]

Why is it that I live and work amongst a high concentration of computer nerds,
particularly of the email variety, and I have never:

seen anyone write an email convention by hand, or
heard anyone speak an email convention?

Who are the folks who are doing this?
