Don't mention the elephant/missing the whispers
Posted by Ian Holsman
Email/recorded conversations has let me down twice in about 8 hours.
The first conversation was about what someone said in a email and now is on permanent record and thanks to that i’m in the shit.
The other one caused someone else to get so pissed off he decided to resign.
My thinking is permanence/non refutability/non plausiable denail of email/IM will be it’s downfall and is a hinderance to global communication not a help.
I don’t need anonymity. I need a way to talk/email people so that cant’ forward/CC/record+replay it. so I can be as frank and honest to people as if i were saying it to them face to face, and not 2nd guessing what would happen if this email was forwarded.
I know the feeling. There should be an informed consent of some sort for these conversations. No one can talk in private anymore nowadays with technology.
