That way I wont read your comments because you really wont send me a letter. Seriously, there is good information, but I spend the majority of my time (on-line) dumping trash and sorting email. I try not to spend more than an hour per day on-line...which means I may have to delete emails that are typically "good", but not "great" - let's see, who was it that said, "Good is the enemy of Great"? You are one of the few that I will keep reading (although I don't read all you write). Mark Walt:

Have multiple e-mail accounts and keep your priorities allocated to the right account. When you find something of interest then to right box. Then manage the amount of time you have to spend in each location. If one e-mail account gets out of control then shut it down and move on, set up a new account, you are allowed to. The information is there for us to use and not to not bury us. The same thing goes for social network web places. Be involved but set some integrity to you entries. Don't follow the default ques, skip past the places that just spam everyone that you won the latest virtual prize. You direct what you want others to see of yourself and use these networks to share and expose what is meaningful in your life and uplifting and worth while to others. Move on to the place where you feel you balance returning and feel whole. Hi Walt,

I keep deleting feeds, and then keep adding more feeds. Every time I see an article about estate planning, or tax, or probate; or technology; or law office management, I add the feed. I probably have about 1,000 new articles a day in my reader. I don't read ALL of them obviously, but it can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. Walt,
