Sorry about the above offers that I seem to be getting sent via post comments. Fortunately, I don't need any of what is on offer and only wish they'd send me something I really would benefit from.
Countermeasures will be deployed ufn.

Maybe you could forward some of the more interesting ones to me?
Lately my email account has been deluged with offers of penis enlargement, cheap Viagra from Russia, down-and-out princes from Nigeria who need help....and I have been adjusting my email rules to divert these to the trash can.
Now every now and then a valid email goes to the trash automatically - and I am too lazy to read the message searching for the offending substring in the post.
Then too, people who have felt the need to send me daily 10-20 of their wittiest emails now go directly to the trash. (they don't know it - perhaps I should finally tell them)
BillB: When e-mails and computer generated reports etc were introduced into the police, the time spent actually dealing with the public on a face to face basis seemed to fritter away. I used to dread returning from a few days leave because of the sheer volume of dross in my `in box` (as if the old in tray wasn't bad enough). I'm sure I must have left dozens of unacknowledged messages on the day I retired. I do hope there wasn't anything important in there - but at least I wasn't saving lives.
Tadanori: I have a dim view of many of the `humans` I encounter, so try not to beat yourself up too much.

Aha! So you don't need `enlarging` either! I knew it.

Seems to be a constant battle these days.
Hmmm. Prove I'm not a robot before submitting erudite words of wisdom?
Difficult.
Those who know me would suggest I'd find it hard to prove I'm a human....
