  • we have been having a variant of this headline appear ubiquitously every six months for decades.

    we all know it’s a dumb idea, and we all agree that the science and data prove it, so why do we still have it?

    well - because Ontario says we can’t change if New York doesn’t, and New York says we can’t change if Ontario doesn’t. it’s like a big unnecessary game of chrono-chicken. one of these regions needs to just go plowing straight ahead. the loser will absolutely end up copying the winner.

    ps - Chrono Chicken would be an awesome band name.











  • i am gonna jump in and say that it depends on how deeply “non technical” you are. if you are already running your own website, then you could likely handle doing your email the way i do. there’s all kinds of info online, that will show you how to do it.

    i did check out addy.io, and it seems simple enough to use. looking further into it, there are other services out there too, that offer a similar service, like forwardemail.net.

    have a wander around the web, and see which solution feels right for you.


  • some interesting points in this article, but none that are dealbreakers for me continuing the way i currently handle my email. the one example of : “your email is Hilton? do you work here?” typically no employee actually cares enough to ask that question. i have been running my email this way for 20 years (ish), so my sample size is large enough to suggest my results are reliable.

    still great food for thought, though!
