What if I get someone's email by mistake? How do I deliver it to them?
Will I get a huge bill from the post office for not attaching a stamp? This lady thought she was going to go to jail.
What if I need to send a notarized email?
These are remembered because the people were quite distressed and not really well balanced.
Germany actually tried to make that a thing.

I vaguely remember this and we laughed about it. It was like the wild west on the net.
I remember all the exploits that were used for nothing more than pranking. Today they would be used to take peoples money Tierdrop and winnuke and all kinds of packets of death you could use to knock someone off the net or just reboot them.
IRC was the chat of the day and I once cleared the opper and admin channel on I think it was Undernet with an exploit and filled it with eggdrop bots named the same as some of the oppers. It may have been another network I was a opper on. Newnet maybe? Not long after that channel services were fully implemented and that became a lot harder to do.
Edit: Oh, I noticed the 2008 date for your link. I'm pretty sure they were not the first to try that.
