- jmilloy 14y agoReplacing email isn't fixing email, it's replacing email. When I discovered I couldn't practice running a mile in my house, I went to the local track. I didn't fix my house, I replaced it for this particular task with something else. Isn't this the same? I think PG is in the minority when he considers a conversation over email a "degenerate case" of a TODO list item. A public-writeable personal todo list application is separate from my email client, whether it uses the email protocol to send todo items, or a new protocol to send todo items, or http to put todo items on a centralized database, etc.
