How often these days does an e-mail you sent come back from "MAIL DELIVERY SYSTEM" with this:

WHOEVER@yahoo.com>... Deferred
Warning: message still undelivered after 12 hours
Will keep trying until message is 3 days old
You want to know why this is happening more and more frequently? It's because the mailboxes on all the world's servers are crammed full of total trash. You know, all those stupid little video clips and jokes and silly photos and stuff that keep doing the rounds. I bet you've even had stuff that you sent to someone come back to you months later, I know I have and I try not to send many at all because I'd prefer to have a life.
The more we keep circulating all this useless stuff, the more often really important messages will come back with the above warning.
Nothing personal, but I for one immediately trash anything that comes these days, even from friends, which I feel is another of these time-wasting, life-wasting circular messages. I especially love trashing the ones that warn you that you have to send it to ten other people if you want something nice to happen to you. Just one of such messages could quite possibly gum up an entire country's disk-space within weeks if sensible people weren't treating them with the contempt which they deserve.
Please, if you give this a little consideration and go do something useful instead of glueing your face to your screen for hours on end, the result will be a more efficient internet experience for all of us. Otherwise the entire internet will soon be rendered useless, crammed to capacity with total, inane, useless trash.
if you don't believe me, check out this link. You'll see it says, among other things, "It's unfortunate that, given the fact that Yahoo was one of the first to offer free email, they are now the target of massive amounts of spam. As a result, their email servers are overloaded and often bounce valid messages..."
You know it makes sense!
