Spam
No, not the spiced ham. And not the unsolicited kind.
Have you ever been spammed by someone who sends you email after email after email? There's this one woman I met while working on the Kerry campaign. At the time, I was getting an email a week from her letting me and everyone else on the list know when the phone bank needed help and where to go to do so. I welcomed these emails.
Starting around the time Katrina hit, emails started coming in at a clip of at least 14 a day, usually about how Bush is the worst thing since the plague. While I tend to agree, one day I got was 20. On that day, about 2 weeks ago, I replied to one of her emails, asking her to PLEASE send them all at once rather than fill up my mailbox. She apparently didn't get the message, because I got 24 today.
The only thing to do, I suppose, is to direct her emails immediately to the trash so I won't get pissed off at seeing her name in there. She's a nice lady...just not up on email etiquette.
That is all.

I totally hear you with this post! Chain letters and death threats if we don't forward the email to ten other people.
Come on now!
