Yea, IRC with pictures and bad e-mail. Has anyone else
noticed how we know have countless e-mail substitutes, often called
DMs, so you have to check countless aps to see if anyone tried to
communicate with you. Sigh.

One sign of the current crapola is "a letter returned as
undeliverable that was addressed using only the recipient’s
Instagram handle (“You’ve gotten all the way to college and you
don’t know how to address a letter?!”). From today's Grauniad.

Had this woman never received a letter addressed to her?
Like he killidge acceptence letter for example? Did she note it was
not addressed to hotteen443?

it was going to replace Teams as well.

Anything replacing Teams would be an improvement.

No. It is a work of the devil - so I am told.
Both my sons (who work in computer coding) strongly advised me to get
rid of it ASAP because of security risks. It is highly popular amongst
gamers. And hackers. So I am led to believe.

HTH, Chris
