I really don’t like this world where anyone can slurp up everything you’ve ever said or written online and write an email as if they know you. Familiarity was already the critical vulnerability in humans. :|

It's so frustrating. It also tends to beat Google's spam filters. I probably need mail rules to block more cold emails.
