Because of SPAM. And the vast majority of SPAM is sent from hijacked Windows
PC's, whose number rose considerably since that latest severe worm. But
let's not start and argument over this. *wink*
One thing I proposed over a year ago is correspondence through RSS feeds.
It's SPAM-free. I have communicated with family and friends using a Wiki
since March last year. SPAM-free. But these methods are not open to
communication with a previously unknown (untrusted) person. Yet, they mean
that E-mail becomes secondary and can be neglected, to an extent.
