too much traffic in my mailbox and I did not have the time to read
each
message relating to certification and its spinoff threads; *not*
because I
have any opinion on the issue. I doubt that many people like to
arrive at their desk in the morning to find 150 email messages (twice
that after the weekend), fully half of which are related to a topic
they
don't have the time to pursue.
the solution for this is:
set up digest mode so you get one large message per day.
get a mail client that filters and sorts mail so you can automatically
kill uninteresting messages in large groups.
remember that just because you don't have time doesn't mean everyone
doesn't.
