While I'm waiting for the 103 e-mail messages on my in queue to download, I'll hazard the guess that lsanderson's answer to your question would be "All of them. With Extreme Prejudice."
I sort them into separate folders on the server using procmail, and read them using any IMAP client. So I don't see the big mailing lists getting between me and my personal email; which I agree would be terribly annoying.
Obviously the SMOF cork popped out, and nobody has found where it flew to yet; hence the current problem :-).
'course they are...it goes silent for long enough, then re-emerges with a vengeance. The only way to calm 'em down is to threaten to run Janice for some elected office or another.
"With a vengeance" would be one of the larger understatements I've seen recently.
I don't know what's worse... trying to keep up with SMOFS or the 72 bounceback emails I woke up to this morning because the Polaris programming email address (for which I'm one of the two recipients) is being used by spammers.
Fortunately, that latter situation seems to have been a one-off (touch wood), whereas the SMOFS list is not.
Most of today's discussion hasn't even been remotely interesting, IMO.
I'm always afraid I'll miss something interesting if I just start deleting en masse, though. So far, however, I haven't... and I've wasted hours I'll never get back in proving that to myself. (Well, minutes, at any rate.)
And the "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" parody posted today was just painful. I was tempted to look up the original lyrics (which I'm only about 30% familiar with) to make sure that the parody scanned, but I couldn't be bothered. Which, when it comes to musical theatre, is quite something for me to say. However, that particular poster is one whose messages I almost always delete without reading.
