- wmf 13y agoSome people are really touchy about receiving mail from anyone they don't already know. Based on this thread, quite a few people.
- jerf 13y agoEmail has a light-weight de facto security system where people can't send you an email without knowing your address. Obviously, this isn't perfect, and it was never truly a security feature, but, nevertheless, it is there, and for all of its manifold and obvious faults, it mostly works this way. People are used to this. Taking it away will bother people.
