I actually love email. It's great that we have a standard and open protocol for sending and receving virtual mail. Without email we would be now probably using some closed-source proprierary and not interoperable solution witch locks you in. I'm glad it didn't happen.

This memey post isn't about Email as a concept, it's about the state of commercial communication companies and the way we access having email.

Don't worry. I get it. :3 I'm just adding another perspective to the discussion.

I as well like email, it just has to be managed. Then you threw in the alternative involved a solution with a witch locking me in, and I'm intrigued to know more.
