@tantramar @gumnos Not arguing against forms, they're just better as an optional alternative as opposed to a replacement for providing an email address. I have _zero_ interest in going back to the early days of the Internet with people emailing orders, contact info, credit cards, etc.! Or, marginally better, emailing with instructions to call to provide those details.

@morgant @tantramar Forms also require server-side infrastructure that inhibits use with a static site. Yes, you can set the form target to some outsourced form-processor, but usually those then come to you…as email 😁
