Some questions are unrealistic (naive, over-eager beginners) but there's only
a few of these per day. I timed myself hitting the delete key and found that
it takes me 372 msec per delete. So even if there were 20 "garbage emails"
per day it would only take about 7.44 seconds to delete them--small price to
pay if it saves somebody days or weeks of agravating searching and expensive
mistakes.
If you don't want to waste your time helping beginners, then don't. But the
quicker those beginners learn, the quicker they'll be able to help you in the
future. I too get overwhelmed by the amount of email I get every day, but I
think that the reason this list is so popular is that it is so broad in scope.
I don't want to see anything change. If you want to see it change, use an OT
filter!
