Hahaha. I love it. I think it was Joel Spolsky who said that you shouldn't worry too much about discussing your ideas because if they're actually novel the risk that people will steal them is low since in reality you'd have to shove them down most people's throats to try to get them to understand.

Reading these comments has only reinforced that notion. It seems silly to me that anyone could look at the way email works and say "yup, this is perfect, it's not possible to do better, let alone much better". And yet everyone who uses emails runs into the same frustrations with it many times a day. You go on telling people that email is fine, that just winnows out the future competitors, and I'm fine with that.
