Old way: Write a message on parchment, roll the parchment up and seal it, then hand it to your most reliable friend who will mount his fastest mare and ride off ... That's as reliable as your best friend and as fast as his fastest mare. New way: Fire up a computer, open a mail application with an awkward user inter- face, write a mail using a sloppy keyboard, thus introducing plenty of typos (including in the receiver's email address), above all depend on misconfigured name servers, mail servers, power stations, you-name-it, and eventually get back a non-delivery-notice ... That's as unreliable as it can be. Sincerely, Rainer
