Re: OT: Interesting Emails
Be lucky you only get 8!  I probably get about a hundred or more a day, Richard gets several times that. We finally did get a commercial product for spam for Richard's email when it started taking him over a half an hour just to download his mail in the morning. 
Oh and when we went on vacation this past summer for two weeks? That took HOURS and HOURS to download before he could even start going through it.

Re: OT: Interesting Emails
A recent article said Billy G. gets something like 3 million a day! 
Of course, he just hires a staff of programmers to deal with it for him..... |

Ouch. I would think that there would be a need for a product that would download your email for you while you were on vacation. Auto detect spam and delete it while preserving real emails. Hummmmm - with all the game developers that Shrapnel knows perhaps some could make this program and sell it through shrapnel?

Re: OT: Interesting Emails
LOL, well this past vacation was particularly bad because we both agreed not to bring our laptops (and therefore check our mail) or we would end up doing work.
