# Email? What is this Email you speak of?

Russell Beattie has 400 pending Email messages. [[here](http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/1008307.html)]
I have heard other bloggers complain of this as well. [[here](http://www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/mt/archives/2005/02/my_apologies_if.php) and [here](http://www.redmonk.com/sogrady/archives/000460.html) and [here](http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2005/01/26.html#a9258)]
I can't remember a time when I have received more than 5 Emails in a single day. Most of those are automated server messages telling me when backups are complete, etc.
I'm not complaining. I remember when I worked in Tech Support (before the Ticketing System was installed) that my inbox was always full. But I learned quickly how to delegate, reply succinctly, and be verbose when the situation demanded it.
I know I don't get 100,000+ visits a day, and have adoring fans and vitriolic enemies, but to have an Email backlog like that is truly astounding.
