request that no one share the subscribe link on social media or the open

RISKS. Among top secret mailing lists, this one is inner circle. Only
subscribers know about it. Those who talk will #@@#(#*( (transmission
stopped).

Subscribe and enjoy the darkest secrets of our so called
civilisation. And watch how the rest of humans downloads screensavers
and background wallpapers.

 I kept looking at the byline to check if this was an article from 1995. :)

 Having said that, I agree with all the reasons why email won't die.

 My favourite newsletter shut down in the aftermath of the dot.com bust
 [1].


My favorite was shut down more recently in 2006: Need To Know
http://www.ntk.net/.
