No, I'm sorry, the specialization idea does not float. E-mail has
become as popular as car driving. I agree you don't need to know
mechanics nor combustion physics to operate a car. Nonetheless you must
invest tens of hours to learn how to drive it properly, many of them
only to allow fluid interactions with other drivers, as we all share
roads; red lights, yield signs, school buses and all.
Many people will spend many more hours dealing with e-mail than at the
wheel but hey, they can get away with half-garbage e-mails so why should
they bother?
I mean, what's *so* hard about spending 10 hours once to learn to
properly use something that you'll enjoy every day for the rest of your
life?
