I had an email problem. My inbox was always full of emails. I was very slow in responding to personal emails. How slow? Ask my friends. It wasn't unusual for them to receive an email response from me over a year after they sent the email as I played catchup.

I get too much email. Most of us do. The situation was out of control, and had been that way for years. I remember the good old days in the 90's when, for the first few years of my email experience, almost all emails were personal, and a joy to engage in. I wanted that experience back. I wanted receiving someone's email to lighten up my day. I didn't want it to be surrounded by non-personal junk email.
