"And email is a terrible mess. It's dangerous, insecure, unreliable, mostly unwanted, and out-of-control. It's the starting point for a myriad of criminal activity, banking scams, virus outbreaks, identity theft, extortion, stock promotion scams, and of course, the giant iceberg of spam."

Sounds a lot like old fashioned snail mail to me. The benefits of it still outweigh the drawbacks, however, so people still use it. What's the big deal? You want something perfect? The world sucks. Get a helmet.
