Almost 30% of incoming messages are junk. I have friends working in big technology companies who have to deal with bigger quantities (issue tracking updates, time tracking reminders, ...). However, they do not live in their mailbox: if they want to discuss things, they get up from their desk and simply do so. In cases like remote distribution, I do recognize the advantages of email. Collaborations with academics outside Belgium naturally make you reach for such a system. I love receiving feedback on my work and personal messages on how things are. I've enjoyed lengthy conversations this way, both via my work and private email accounts. Even blood pressure rising subjects such as _do this before the xth!_ are passable.

It's not that I'm not invested in the well-being of my employer and the regular news that comes with it. It's that it shouldn't be delivered through email. RSS is perfect for this, for example.
