But I had too much inertia- it was my primary email address and web presence- and I had more important things to do that to migrate away from it. It was only when I'd already essentially replaced it that I could let go of it. I'm sure I've lost contact with people because of this, though. leah-

It certainly hit my bullshitdar, too. But I had too much inertia- it was my primary email address and web presence- and I had more important things to do that to migrate away from it. It was only when I’d already essentially replaced it that I could let go of it. I’m sure I’ve lost contact with people because of this, though.

When Apple gave free email addresses touting their foreverness, then turned around and started charging for them, my bullshit radar beeped loudly.

I continued with it when they started charging because I didn't want to change my email address. I continued with this for several years mostly out of inertia. When it comes down to it, it's about more than the price. It's about control. Control of data and control of idenity and identifiers. I don't want my methods of communication to be subject to the whims of others, so I try to limit their involvement. lloyd-
