Simplified explanation: Unreliable email, so the recipient can pretend they never received the email but still act upon it's contents.
i.e. so you can tell someone that they smell, or their partner is cheating on them, without having to have the awkward conversation that both the sender and recipient would like to avoid.
- dav-id 16y agoThe original post made no sense to me but after reading your one liner I get it. Do you think this would also help manage the 'drunken email' syndrome many of us get?
- user24 16y agoExample: Subject: You Smell Body: Sorry mate, but I wanted to tell you that you really stink, it's really offputting and I feel pretty sick when I have to stand near you. This message was sent through chancemail, there was a 1 in 10 chance this message was delivered, so the sender probably thinks you never got this message, allowing you to act on it without having to feel awkward about it. Reaction: wtf dude, why did you email me telling me I smell? Or in other words: Once you've sold the sender on the concept, you have also to sell the recipient on the concept. That task is even harder, because typically the recipient will just have been told something hurtful or awkward. Question: Why is this better than anonymous email?
