"You ARE much quieter in person than I would have ever guessed
  given the sheer volume of how much you write." It's my preferred
  conduit. I'm deafer than I let people realize so it take a lot
  of cognitive power to listen to people talk, so much that when
  it comes times to say my piece, I don't have any time to think :
  I have about as much time as it takes to take a breath and I'd
  better have what I want to say composed and ready in that
  time... which is about 3 seconds.
