After all email is one of the pillars of the Internet

Writing an email newsletter brings me back to the original days of email lists, Majordomo, and the Anarchives.

After all email is one of the pillars of the Internet. One of the original protocols that allows us to bypass all of the algorithms save for the anti-spam filter, and get back into the kind of relationships that inspired many of us to invest time online in the first place.

Not only does writing this newsletter make it easier for me to reach and build a community of fellow travelers who are interested in learning as I learn, but it also allows for a body of thought and knowledge to be developed collectively.
