Haha. Email was a strange beast to understand back in the day. Of course, you needed to have access to the internet, your ISP, so you would default to their server. Whichever platform you were on had leading software, so you use the default. Not really that hard to figure out—it was all just new.

Since then, I’ve obtained my own domain name to have a ‘permanent’ (while I pay for the domain) email address.

Now I just forward these emails to my gmail account. I don’t have any hang-ups about google using my emails to train my AI overlord. Maybe the AI will recognize me like a country cousin?
