Okay, Joe, so have a really honest conversation with yourself and look me straight in the eye (computer style
) and tell me that you get 200 crucially important emails a day. The hell you do.
I used to get 100 work-related emails a day, half of them were the 'ring of 10 people' hitting REPLY ALL and saying "me too." So we had a little meeting and talked about it and now it's down by at least half, which is a good start.
Americans are addicted to needless communication. When it's voluntary, (like PPOT), that's ok. But it's on the verge of being out of hand. Half the people out there automatically pull their phone out of their pocket the second they get in the car. Guys run around the airport with their blutooth gaymakers in their ears, scrolling through their contact list, just trying to find someone to call. People hit "reply all" and say "Me too." It's crazy and it's also very stupid that I'm typing this on a web forum. Maybe I should log off for a day!
