I'm 100% with Nancy. I HATE voice mail and thoroughly enjoy
answering questions from students via e-mail, especially at midnight
on a Saturday night. If I'm already on line (and I usually am), why
not answer student queries? And I find that students, far from
feeling entitled, are exceedingly grateful that I get back to them
so quickly. I LOVE e-mail.

This has been precisely my experience as well, including the "Saturday
night" part.  Some of the teachers quoted in the NY Times article
sounded a bit pompous to me.
