The tools are fine and they've been working fine for decades. It's just that most people are ignorant and lazy and have no respect for systems of conventions that are already in place, and want to webify everything whether it makes sense or not. Outlook, AOL, google groups, it's pretty much all about thumbing your nose at the world and saying you don't give a rat's a$$ about the other guy. Just follow the other sheeple and say "everybody does it."
