Very disappointed with the US FCC's ~2020 decision to REQUIRE EMAIL for a 1920s technology (access to, via their 10yr-cycle licensing online nightmare).

I recently went to renew my legal callsign, and apparently now email is a required attribute; if an email from them "bounces" then you get your callsign revoked.

My PO Box is no longer enough for them. I don't use email anymore. Radio silence.

That's a choice. Why no email? Why is it so hard to have an email account for the few things that require it?

I'll just use a 10-minute-email, and have anybody send anything to that burner while on my landline with them.

To cite Paul Graham's 15+ year old essay on the topic, email is nothing more than "a to-do list that anybody can add on to."

I respect myself to not use an ineffective communication medium (beyond as-described, above).
