[NTLK] Receiving NewtonTalk messages... Gmail issue?

[Dan]

Sadly this is just the state of email these days.  So many things don't make it any more.  I have to check spam folders in multiple areas.  Gmail and Yahoo both wack a lot of legitimate mail, Yahoo is far worse.  I am getting most of my mail here but some get filtered on occasion so I back track and check (at some point it does go through a Yahoo system) on a regular basis.  But I do that now for all accounts I have due to this problem.  Some systems I have to use different email address or they will never receive my message because it gets filtered and most people never check their spam.  Personal or company messages.  It is almost to the point where I wonder if old snail mail would work better (if I knew their address and knew if the people would actually read something on paper).

Spammers, black hats, and AI are ruining everything lol.  Not to mention the ad system.  It is sad when Futurerama had it right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO7p1p5_yg4  I know I feel like that visiting many sites.  It is funny how back in the day it was such a huge issue and companies stopped doing it.  And now they are and even more than back then with LOUD, bigger, high rez, and high bandwidth ads.  Heck go on with a slower connection to certain sites now (say some ad supported tech forums) and they are unusable due to the ads unless you kill scripts or turn on a adblock.
