There are too many unread messages in my Yahoo account. I can’t seem to catch up on them and so I’m going to just go through and delete a lot. Actually, most aren’t all that important. I seem to be getting a lot of spam, phishing expeditions and other weird stuff. By weird stuff I mean e-mails that want me to enhance parts of my body I wasn’t born with and have no intention of acquire (even if it is medically possible).

Normally I go through the bulk mail folder and at least look at the subject line, but I’m not doing that today. There are just too many and the possibility of finding one to goose my muse is about 1 in a 1,000,000. Although there aren’t a million messages in that folder, maybe there are more then a thousand. Still it’s not worth the time today.

I have to clean out all my e-mail boxes, but the Yahoo is the one that’s in worse shape. So I’ll do what I can today, perhaps even unsubscribe to some more groups. I respond on a simiregular basis to only three or four Yahoo groups. There are a couple of prompt groups that sent only prompts and don’t require regular or simiregular postings. Another thing I need to do in that account is do away with some of the folders. I don’t know why I keep so much stuff that I’ll never read. I put messages in folders and just leave them there until I decide that there are more import things in life than reading old messages.

OK, I’m going through some sort of transformation phase. My life is just too complicated lately and the only way I see of uncomplicating it is to clean out an e-mail box. Maybe for my next entry I’ll use one of the prompts I’ve save in a prompt folder, then at least I can delete one prompt. Perhaps make several entries concerning the prompts; some of them are really good.
