Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Compassionately intolerant

Comcast guy just drilled two holes in the kitchen wall. I never really thought about what it would take to get the cable inside. Not pretty. Ugh.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't IM. It always freaks me out when a chat window opens in GMail or FaceBook.

Yeah, I'm a ruthless deleter. I clean out my inbox at a minimum of once a day and the only thing in there is about a dozen emails that serve as reminders of things outstanding.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

If I didn't keep emails I would have been nailed on several things due to what people say they were never told about or never responded to.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I save everything, which is why the new policy of auto-deleting messages after 120 days—unless they are moved into Managed Folders archives—makes me twitchy.

I like to keep all e-mails that aren't total chaff. Having a record of conversations is very useful.

I keep essential emails. When I say I empty out my inbox every day, I delete or use folders.

For anyone interested, the Get-It-Done-Guy podcasts have some great tips for managing your inbox (and other ways to become more efficient).

Trust my rage

I like to have a record of stuff, but I also hate to have my inbox filled with crap. I should set up a system to manage that stuff, and I suppose I will once i get my work computer set up properly. Still, I like IM for stuff that I don't need a record of.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I keep my inbox and sent items ruthlessly clean. I archive the important stuff and delete the rest, as I get way too many emails to keep them all. Usually I'll delete stuff that's more than a year or two old unless it's somethinge very important.
