Welcome! The world always makes the assumption that the exposure of an error is identical with the discovery of truth - that the error and truth are simply opposite. They are nothing of the sort. ~H.L. Mencken Photo Credit: NASA Helix Nebula

    Guerrilla Mail creates an e-mail address designed to be both temporary and a disposable service. Michel de Montaigne, the French nobleperson, for centuries considered to be the inventor of "the essay" form could easily have made this contemporary communications notion interesting. In particular, he would have addressed its distinctive contradictions and its underlying paradox especially since few clients are CIA, MI5 or KGB. Even then, if we told you they were, well, we would have to ...

    In French, the verb, "essayer," informally means "to try," so inspired by example and word play, I will try. :)
    Alas, Montaigne is probably rolling in his grave while speed dialing his lawyer.

    At some time, we have all been unhappy to belatedly discover the loss of an urgent email: we sent one that did not arrive, it arrived but went AWOL or another one was sent to us but we did not receive it. I can imagine, but not emulate, his beautiful prose and nuanced thinking. Alas, again since my talents pale by comparison, I will simply be a messenger.

    The crux is time. I am sorry to say that even diamonds are not forever but that takes a long time, the almost mystical expanse of a geological time scale to become humbled and degraded during its dramatic transformation. That is not the case in today's free market economy. Time plays a central role in managing buying habits. Planned obsolescence is integral to modern industrial economics.

    In our novel example, Guerrilla Mail temporally manages one's security clearly and simply. It relies upon its temporal brevity. This site offers you, may I say, "cyber-degradable" email addresses. These email addresses purposely have the average life-span of a café grande, about fifteen minutes.

    Can such technology be used unethically? There is a quite different software company that generates fake email addresses that are very authentic looking. Hopefully, they all end up effectively functioning exclusively for their intended purpose, harmless deceptions. There are a variety of ways to obscure one's online identity and address. Granted, software does not shill people, people shill people.

    Unfortunately, Montaigne has reportedly failed to find this sufficiently engaging and is unavailable for further comment. I believed it was Montaigne. I will never know. Apparently, his email address was only temporary and so he can no longer be reached.

    An extensive explication for this software is not really required. It is portable, perishable by plan and convenient. It has a niche or two.
