In the process of developing this blog (read some of the history) I have gradually been putting on the pre-blog content into Moveable Type. This morning I came across this superb item - The Tyranny of Email (aka When Email Goes Bad) [via Tom] - and it reminded me of something I put together just before I left a job with the web projects at IPC. Having dug round backup discs last night, I finally found it, cleaned it up and posted it via Moveable Type in - what I hope - is the correct date (I left IPC in December 1999).

As always, I find somebody else can express my thoughts better than I can. Ole Eichhorn's piece is spot on the mark and I will be turning my email client off at times in the day. And, I found a great new blog to read.
