Interesting topic I will be looking into Skype. I agree with what you say....I was referring more to the quantity of input being lost rather than chemistry. Lack of chemistry when not face to face and to instantly throw back and forth ideas is a given. Too much work tends to be wasted between emails. I have noticed that there can be a lack of spontaneity when waiting for a co writer to put his thought and feelings forward. A lot of times we can go of on the wrong tack and it is difficult getting back.
