Yes, I write more than twice the work emails than I send. I spend 15 minutes on slack composing a reasoned response with examples and references then edit it down to one sentence. Because I know from bitter experience noone reads long form, at least, not for work. They’d rather spend weeks back and forth on one liners with days in between responses, or only when prompted, than answer one email properly and the whole thjng sorted in a day. Even this is too long. But I’m going to hit submit before the urge to edit overhwlems me.
