As the kids say, “OMG!” As in, OMG! How have you been!
This is like the email I rarely get: an old friend popping in to say hi!

In addition, OMG! I’m working on a PayPal rant, next!

I really am happy to see you, Trick!

Keep in touch,

Mitch

My search is always for meaningful e-mail. I’m looking for people who say stuff like, “Trick, you knew me back when we both worked for Allstate and you lent me $140 and I finally want to pay it back.”

Instead, I get way too many messages telling me that some bank I’ve never heard of is having trouble with my account and needs my account number, the name of my favourite high school sweetheart, and my MySpace password to fix it.

I can see you’re in the same boat.

Thanks, Sharon!
I've come a bit closer to realizing the dream, too!
After studying the post at Entropic Principal, I deleted nearly all of my folders!

Tinkering with the filters, tags and saved searches has been fun, but the real payoff was the Import/Export Tools that I discovered on the KAOSMOS website. I archived over 7000 old messages, zipped 'em up and deleted them from Thunderbird.

Maybe historians will read that stuff, but I sure won't!

Cheers,

Mitch

You’ve outdone yourself again, Mitch. Great use of the song and some valuable lessons too.

Hey, Susan!

I’m fine. I’m glad I could brighten your day with some soulful music.

Cheers,

You are so clever:) Now I am singing Annie Lennox…and have a whole new perspective!
How are you?

Wow, Pinhole, that’s exactly what someone else said on Flickr. To me, it’s an obsolescence metaphor.

Thanks for the compliment!

Cheers,

Aside from being an example of an outstanding Eurhythmic post, it answers my question of where all the mailboxes go to die.

Mitch, this is too funny and not only a wonderful rant, but an outstanding use of the song lyrics!
