That’s me in the corner,
that’s me in the spotlight –
losing my religion,
trying to keep up with you and I don’t know if I can do it;
oh no, I’ve said too much,
I haven’t said enough.
– R.E.M., “Losing My Religion” 1991.

In today’s BlackBerry-driven, online business world, losing one’s e-mail — and access to other online forms of communication — has to be worse than R.E.M.’s fear of losing one’s religion.
