I received 135 forwards of emails yesterday. I had just returned from a hectic tour schedule where I had gone around meeting my customers. My colleagues know it. My friends know it. Yet, amidst the 675 mails that have accumulated in the last 3 days, 135 of them were simply forwarded mails with jokes and anectodes. Another 100 odd mails have nothing to do with me though they have kindly marked me in.

Just imagine my exasperation in going through the mails.

The mails did not have proper subject also - otherwise I could have decided to read them later on.

Worst, some of them were marked Urgent.

Whatever has happened to the email manners ?
