MY CHECK LIST!

              MY CHECK LIST!

      I'm sure each of you has had to
put together a check list from time to
time to make sure you get to everything
that has to, or should, be done.
      I've recently realized that a new
task has come up on my daily list and
I find myself making this chore one
of my top priorities.
      It's deleting the growing list of
junk emails I find in my inbox every
single day.
      They come rom every Tom, Dick,
and Harry you can imagine! Harry, by
the way, is fairly new to the list. It's a
company that sells reasonably priced
shaving razors. I like the product but
I really don't need a daily reminder
that it's available.
       This morning I checked (read
that marked for deletion) some 30
emails that might just as well have
been addressed to "Current Occupant."
        I realize by doing this I often
ignore my opportunity to secure a
guaranteed loan for my advanced
education or exceptional deals
offered by a multitude of retail
outlets that have somehow added
my address to their sales promotion
lists.
         I would like to point out I
do not discriminate as I delete
each piece of junk email. I remove
both Republican and Democrat
propaganda as well as appeals for
funding from both parties.
          Sob stories and funding
requests from charities and
individuals via email  also fall
victim to my daily elimination
ritual.
          The biggest danger I face
is checking too quickly so as not
to recognize an actual email from
a friend who decided to send their
greeting electronically. I get one
or two of those a month too.
          I'm not sure how all of this
mess started. When I signed up
for an email account way back in
the laptop stone age I just passed
along my address to some family
and friends I knew used the internet.
           Now I'm hearing daily from
candidates, causes, and commercial
companies.
            Hope they're not hurt by my
failure to reply. And, as for you, hope
all your NEWS is good!
