I make a party all the time with my emails :) and all kind of people
(mails) come by. I classify the mails and tell them "you may get in" and
"you may not get in". I don't worry about the whole city (world email
traffic) either, only about those people who get by and want to join the
party (mails that are somehow addressed directly to me). Whats so charming
is that my colleague the Bayes filter learns which mails I accept, and
which not, so I don't have to worry myself.
