I returned to work today after being away from NJIT for 10 calendar days. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to sift through my e-mail. Perhaps 15 out of the 300 e-mails that I received during my vacation were of any value. I really think that e-mail is of worthless as an advertising medium. I delete anything where the e-mail header indicates a sales pitch is being made. I do set my listserv settings for no mail during my vacations, so that helps. Once a thread is started on a listserv, everyone has to get his two cents in on the subject.
I remember back in the early 1990s when I started using e-mail, I would smile everytime I received one. Times have changed.
