SPAM: did u m1ss $umthing v1tal?

Chances are, if you're reading this blog, then you have an email account.

Chances are, if you have an email account, then you have experienced the annoyance of 'Spam'.

Chances are, if you've experienced the annoyance of 'Spam', then you've probably also deleted at least one important email by mistake.

I wonder, then, in a world that is full of audio and visual noise, whether there is so much 'Spam' all around us, that when we try to block out all the mixed messages that we know are not worth anything, that we delete - without recognition - some of life's essential messages to us. What these messages are, I don't know; it could simply be our bodies shouting to slow down a little; consume just that bit less alcohol or junk food; it could be a friend crying out for five minutes of our time to talk through an issue which has been bugging them for ages; it could be our brains saying, "There's too much noise!"

I wonder if we can sort out our bodie's 'Spam filters' a bit better? Maybe that means looking inwardly for a while, or possibly switching to a new account - changing parts of life's business (or busy-ness?). I dunno. Maybe it's not even an issue - to be honest, there's too much going on for me to come to any real conclusion.
