Reply Hell

The blazing inferno that one might inadvertantly plunge into by having a prolonged letter or e-mail based correspondence with another -- and then repeatedly failing to execute satisfactorily complete replies ("I'll type up a more thorough response later"), resulting in a nearly indomitable accretion of material to address in future correspondences. Getting out of Reply Hell can be a task of Herculanean proportions, but, like the slaying of the Nemean Lion (or the viewing of the "Dungeons & Dragons" movie from 2000), it is not ENTIRELY impossible.

"I WOULD ask you to elaborate upon the culinary significance of the Arcturan Megadonkey, but you're deep enough in Reply Hell as it is."
