If the internet would be operated like telephone networks in general, we'd
have a new mail protocol every 2-3 years and it would be completely
incompatible to the others and nobody would ask any questions.
Why is it that software always has to be compatible? Nobody would ever
expect hardware (not computers) be compatible to its previous models.
Really? The POTS phone I used back in 1978 still works just fine.
