Trillion Emails

Parade Magazine had an article this week about email service plagued by outages this year. In the article, Nathaniel Borenstein a pioneer in electronic mail said the sheer volume of email traffic was a major factor. According to the article, there approximately 107 trillion emails sent each year. Eighty nine percent are spam.

It seems to me that by now everyone would have a sufficient supply of Viagra and all the spam could stop. Guess not.

I think I got half of the 89%. I don’t buy anything, but I do give them the email address of people I don’t like.
