You're missing the point. If you don't like email conventions, use web
forums, Facebook, Twitter, Whatapp, Tinder, Grinder, Zoom, or whatever
is cool today and out of fashion next year.

Electronic mail is an old protocol with RFC's for multiple reasons.

(See what you did there? You didn't quote any message, so we don't
really know the context of your reply. You could be right, but
posterity will never know.)
