More humor is needed then!  :)

You say it only takes 1 minute per day to delete spam.  I said that 800,000 
hours a year were spent deleting spam.

If you are right, that it takes just a minute a day to delete spam, and 
there are just 10,000,000 Internet users with E-mail, that's 160,000 hours 
per day or 60,000,000 hours per year spent total deleting spam.

You are right that my numbers were humorous; I had no idea how low they were!
