I get all of my emails on my Blackberry. This is great for work, but pesterous for personal email.  E-newsletters, e-updates, and e-notifications all take their toll.

For the longest time, I just ignored them, irrationally thinking they’d eventually stop.  Then I began to actually set rules and filters so that the newsletters would be marked read upon arrival so that I could ignore them.  And for while, I actually just read them and tried to consider them useful.

But, … I just spent the morning unsubscribing myself from a dozen newsletters.  Maybe things aren’t so bleak.

Factual observation:

"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand." -- Bertrand Russell
