Can sound be put in these messages?

[Tom Zurinskas]

Face it.  All junk mail's not bad.  I refied my house based on info from an
unsolicited ad.

Getting junk faxes has nothing to do with email messages.  Nonsense.

This is an interesting forum.  All things are not interesting.  In this
forum I delete at least half the messages based on the subject line alone
when the thread is not interesting to me.

Can you see tomorrows headline "American Dialect Society not interested in
hearing dialects in their email.  Decide not to have voice files in there
email group because it's equated being as useless as JUNK FAXES."

Personally, I could use feedback on analysis of the phonemes of some spoken
phrases.  I assume some folks hear would be interested in that.  To me
that's what a dialect is all about, the sounds one makes when speaking, not
the vocabulary.
