I guess so

How can you "easily" collaborate between hundreds/thousands of people
without the use of a server?  Doesn't make sense to me.  Maybe I don't
understand you.  But yeah, TCP/IP would be my choice(which is what every
email client uses now days).  The server based version of collaboration
is not done over the SMTP protocol (at least not in Outlook).

My philosophy when it comes to end-users is: KISS (keep it simple
stupid).  Otherwise, it goes over their head (unless they're
techno-philiacs).

I guess you have an exceptionally good memory.  I know a lot of people
that don't know what's in the next 30 minutes.

And I doubt it's going away.

I don't drink/eat/inhale/do stimulants (not even caffeine...most of the
time).

Difference of opinion I guess.
