If you're being accurate, the people you know are terrible.

If someone sends me a personal letter [and I gather we're talking about a thank-you note here], I'm sure as hell going to open it. I'll probably even save it in a box for an extremely long time.

Of course. I took it to be referring the 98% of other paper mail that that goes straight to the trash. Often unopened. I don't know if I'm typical but the number of personal cards/letters I received in 2025 I could count on one hand.

Yes so this is why the reason why person card/letters really matter because most people sheldom get any and if you know a person in your life / in any (community/project) that you deeply admire, sending them a handwritten mail can be one of the highest gestures which shows that you took the time out of your day and you really cared about them so much in a way. That's my opinion atleast.

Then you are part of truly strange circles, among people who don’t understand human behavior.

Ok, and that supports the idea of LLM-generated mass spamming in what way…?

You surround yourself with the people you want to have around you.
