Want mail?

I just opened my hotmail.  I haven't looked at it in a few days.  That's bad news.

My hotmail account is the one I use for all my online orders.  And one time I thought it would be great to earn FREE points by completing online surveys.  Never have figured out what the free points are for, however, and after filling out a trillion questionnaires, spending a billion hours, only to find at the end of the survey some line about "Sorry, but you don't meet our requirements..." or "We've already received our limit of answers for this..." or some similar comment meaning I get 5 points instead of the 500 points I thought I'd get...

Anyway, as a result, my Hotmail account has a tendency to get a whole lot of JUNK mail.  Like 450 unopened ones today.  Oh, great.

I've thought about just closing it down and opening another one, but that has it's downsides, too.  So, here I go - Select all, delete.  Select all, delete.   Select all, delete.  Select a.........

Warning:  Unless you really do like receiving a very full inbox, Never, EVER, fill out an online survey!
