This is not the slam dunk comment you appear to think it is. I've lived for many years without a single death, but this fact wouldn't serve to nullify the fact I died when it does happen.

If you can tolerate a completely different way of doing email, I wholeheartedly recommend HEY[0]. I've been a customer since it went live and their business model is very straightforward. You pay $99, you get email for a year. Their tr
