I PULLED ALMOST 2000 emails off the server last night; about a week’s worth. I read the vast majority of them, but not all — and now that they’ve been sucked into Outlook they’re pretty much gone. I never go back to those, since there are always new ones (about 40 or 50 already) to take their place and it’s hard enough to keep up. I read nearly everything, except when I get behind, and I try (with mixed success) to reply to everything that calls for a reply. But this is a hobby.

Meanwhile some Italian politician is publicly bitching about having 23. Jeff Jarvis tells him where to get off.
