I don't get a lot of choice.  My e-mail address is used by the university
and they will put it on several web pages.  For me it hasn't been much of
a problem.  I filter some of the spam to a different box and I manage to
delete a lot of it without reading.

Of course, most of my regular postal mail is just junk to be thrown away,
so why shouldn't I expect most of my e-mail to be just as worthless?  It
still isn't as bad with e-mail as with postal mail, but it will be soon!
