Boy, do I sympathize ...

... Good and not-so-good housekeeping.

Email has simply become unmanageable, what with publicists asking me if I received the review galley of a book scheduled to come out in February and could I let them know if I have decided to review it, to say nothing of peopkle sending me PDF files of their new self-published, files so large they make it impossible for me to open any opf my email. I could go on ... and on. But I will spare you.

    Chris Anderson on Long Tail Blog had a good post about this. He is Editor in Chief of Wired and gets fed up with this kind of thing. So he published a (huge) list of all the email addresses he is no longer going to answer.
