Email Forwarding Is Bad: Why you should never forward email

OP/Author here. Mail is fine. Or, was. The problem is that it's based on a 50 year old paradigm of trust (ARPANET) but has the unwashed masses using it (Internet) where there is no inherent trust. So, that trust model had to be added on after the fact, which was too late. So email was great. Humans abused it to death.

I love that you never quite managed to disagree with the comment you responded to...

Given that we're using the internet, not ARPANET, email kinda sucks, right? (I've sent 5 and received ~20 today)

You're right. I don't disagree with the comment. I just have very specific reasons for agreeing ;-)

Why did you put a false claim as your article title?

It's not false. It matches the subject of the article in a subjective manner.
