@tantramar @gumnos I'll counter that using a form has many downsides (naturally, many still shared by email): 1. Still a target for spammers, often requiring JS captchas and such 2. No guarantee the destination is checked or left to collect spam 3. Doesn't provide the user with actual contact info 4. Higher liklihood of message data loss (user must remember to copy form content before submitting because an error often results in loss of the message content) 5. Privacy concerns

    @morgant @gumnos 1. Website problem, not user problem 2. Not unique to either method 3. Feature (not a bug) 4. More of an issue in years past; crashiness is much reduced (I used to worry about this a lot but can’t remember the last time it bit me) 5. Not unique to either method
