[Boatanchors] 100 e-mails

I delete most emails from the lists to which I subscribe 
without reading them.  
For instance:  
I automatically delete any emails concerning 
National, Hammerlund or Hallicrafters ham rigs unread 
because I have no interest in these brands.  
No offense to those who love them; 
 it's a very big pie and there are slices for everyone.
Those just aren't mine, so more for you ;-).
I did, in fact, read all the "shuttle" and "startrek" posts 
and did not suffer from this short, 
enjoyable diversion into other "lands."  

I can delete 100 uninteresting messages 
in about 7 seconds.
If I open and read one I *say* I don't like, 
what is my complaint?

"Off Topic" threads will "peter-out" on their own in,
at most, a few days if left alone.  For my part, I find
an occasional diversion by people whom I respect
enjoyable.  Complaining about them engenders even 
more posts about them- like this one! ;-)
An old bit of wisdom: "Don't stir it and it won't stink."
