I’VE JUST DELETED ABOUT A THOUSAND unread emails as part of the effort to clear out the mess in my inbox. If you’ve sent me mail and I haven’t replied, well. . . sorry. I really do try to read them all, and reply to as many as I can. There’s just so much email. And as Newman said “the mail never stops!”

UPDATE: Um, several people have resent emails “in case I deleted them.” This defeats the purpose. Unless your email was earthshatteringly important, please don’t do that.
