@satchmoz, I think as part of my personal journey, email is done. I delete it as I receive it, and I think that changes my relationship with the technology.
I don't need secrets without expiration in my message storage; I keep those in other places. For messages I need a series of one-off secrets that disappear.
Or mundanely, jabber works. ^_^
Can that be my ultimate personal dismissal of email? "Jabber works."
