My frequency in checking my main email acct is now down to about once every other week. It still takes an hour and a half but that's better done when I can spare the time, rather than ten minutes a day when I really have better things I should be doing.

But even with some spam filtering I am totally disgusted with how totally broken from top to bottom email is.

I don't expect email to go away any time soon but as I personally distance myself further with almost anything email related, the less I care how bad are its flaws are and what impacts others are suffering from dependency on it, -- or their loss of privacy from continued use of it.
