Is there evidence that plants feel pain or that bugs do not? I don't know of any, but I would definitively be interested as that could change my view. I want to go wherever the evidence leads, even if it's uncomfortable.

For years, I have been using the Inbox Zero method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9UjeTMb3Yk) to stay sane. It really does help. I regularly empty my inbox while others seem stuck in the hell that is 9,000 unread emails.

I have known people to declare email bankruptcy. Why should anyone have to declare defeat to a productivity tool, let alone one that didn't exist when my parents were born?

Insanity!

Even with my successes reigning in email, I realize that I have it backwards. Technology should adapt to us, not the other way around.

I'm interested to see what Hey is all about.

A friend of mine was considering building an anonymous forwarding service and ran into this same question. He also considered allowing custom domains, but if a custom domain is used, is it really anonymous? Couldn't services coordinate to realize that all email addresses under whatever.com are owned by the same person?
