I tried it and it took me ten times as long to use it as to write
ordinary email.  Specifically, having to navigate slows me down,
and (top of my list) is that the text input area fills up as
you type; then you have to scroll down.  

I posted a response and thought I confirmed that it was registered
(I saw the reverse-video X and the title), but went back and
didn't see it.  (this is in the HTML discussion)

I agree, the idea is good, but the implementation is too clumsy
to be practical if we can use email instead.
