Only One More Year of Email!
I have been a happy man ever since January 1, 1990, when I no longer had an email address. I’d used email since about 1975, and it seems to me that 15 years of email is plenty for one lifetime
I’ve been using email since 1993, and I am so done with it. One more year, and then I can pull a Knuth.(via)

I hated email for a while too (mostly b/c of spam) but now I filter most of it through gmail and only get 1 or 2 spam msgs / week in my inbox. Gmail is awesome – it really works!
Also, I started to like email again once I separated everything. One email address for friends and family only (no lists or other random things). One email address for work. And one for when you have to sign up for or purchase anything online.

That’s crazy. I have never given my gmail address to anyone, and it is *full* of spam. I get 100 messages to my gmail inbox every day, all spam.
I’ve spent hours clicking gmail’s ‘report spam’ button, and I keep getting similar messages in my inbox. gmail has the worst spam filter I’ve ever seen.
Also, for a search company, they sure suck at searching through my email. I get thousands of messages that have ‘Ra,’ in the subject line, and I want to delete them en mass, but gmail doesn’t notice the comma in the search query, and a search for ‘Ra,’ results in a bunch of matches for ‘Raj’. idiots.
