Never even flinched, thinking I was missing something worthwhile... Dude was actually pained when I asked him to stop spamming me with endless jokester slop. He did comply for awhile, alas... My basic principal: If I know you, and it's your words or work (pic, vid, etc), then I want to see it! Else, like jokespam endlessly forwarded - DELETE. -Jim I delete everything from my evangelical racquetball friend that isn't sorted to my racquetball folder (sender/title = rball of some sort).

Not even the college. Other than that I don't really have much of a problem with emails not worth reading.Gmail does a pretty good job of filtering out junk, and I'm fortunate that most of my contacts aren't hooked on forwarding junk mail to me. I do have one old acquaintance who does so and yes ... his emails are often deleted before I even open them.
