Wow, when's the last year you read or sent an email?

Doesn't posting on forums count as transmitting/receiving messages using a digital electronic device, like email?

Other than temporary burners (for signups), 2017 was last regular usage of email (i.e. "reachable via email").

It's been really nice. Honest-to-god, I have a numeric pager (one-way comms) and don't even carry that out anymore. When asked for "your phone number" these are the digits I provide.

Not what I asked. You said you say "I don't use email anymore." What is the last year you used email?
