Have you ever deleted an email without reading it?
Excluding spam, of course.

1. you bet I have
In fact, I got so mad at someone once that I set up a filter to have any email from that person sent directly into the "Trash" folder of my email program.

4. It's liberating, in an odd way, isnt' it?
I have such a strong sense of curiosity, I am amazed I could even do it. But, hey, as my mother always said, "There is a first time for everything."

5. I delete everything from anyone I know with FW: in the subject line
without reading them.

Then they'll ask me about it a few days later and I tell them my policy. They think I'm kidding and that I really do appreciate their 4 year old FW they are sending me.

7. me too. I have a friend who used to do that all the time
and she was always "having trouble" with her computer.. I never open anything with FW in it..or even with an odd title..

My kids know to start an email to me with a title of "from Steve or from Scott or from Mike"..

My friends? I talk face to face, with them or I call them:)
