On any given day, we'll open up our inboxes and find them swamped. And let's be honest here, sometimes the valid e-mails are no more wanted than the SPAM. Hell, sometimes they outnumber the e-garbage. It's getting so bad that some folks are taking a most drastic measure -- declaring 'e-mail bankruptcy.'

New Zealand based Stuff reports that many IT professionals are becoming so overwhelmed by the contents of their inboxes, they're deleting every single message and starting all over again.

Ive gone through about four different variations of my user name for email addresses. 3 of the four are all but lost to me now due to ridiculous amounts of spam I'm holding ground with the fourth though.
