It’s a funny glitch, really. The first email was a clean, single‑threaded chain, like a handwritten note—no malware, no ads, just a conversation. Now we’re drowning in auto‑generated memes that look like spam but hide trojans in a single line of code. One is a relic, the other is a full‑on threat. If the early messages had the security patches we have now, they’d still be the only thing people read. It’s like comparing a diary to a spam folder—both tell stories, but the spam stories can kill you before you even get the punchline.
