Don't ever use the excuse "but I ICQ'd you." They always get lost, go to different computers etc. Always email something if you need to know 100 percent that the person is going to get your communication. That's my 2 cents.

While I agree email is much more reliable than ICQ, treating it as a 100% communication solution is wrong. Emails go missing often enough. I would say 90-95%. The only 100% solution is an active conversation where you can say "did you get that?"

When communicating over the Internet you really need to take extra precautions to ensure that the other party has received your full message.
