| Here is something I wish I were making up. A good friend of mine noticed

| spam. No such luck.

Looking at some comment in Slashdot, it seems evident that SPAM (Windows
zombies laregely responsible) is killing E-mail as a communication tool. I
personally use password-protected Wikis as means of replacing E-mail because
the volume keeps growing and growing.
