By measures of meaningful deployment, "so old it predates email" is 
incorrect.

And "at the beginning, actually played the role of an email client" is 
incorrect.

And "for four years, FTP was technically email of sorts." was wrong on 
two counts.  First, it was for 10 -- arguably more -- years.  Second the 
"of sorts" is wrong.

And while Abhay was the editor, it was a committee effort.
