Scott, what I'm saying is if you break it into a per/person number (1
min a day), it's not that bad. Why don't you do some numbers on
excessive TV watching or something, you'll find billions of hours of
time that people can do something productive with.

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!
