It's the inconsistency that perplexes me. Why do I get one e-mail a day
from the listserv for a month and then suddenly I get 15 per day, like
today? I also sometimes get two e-mails for a single post. I'm not trying
to change the rules, just trying to understand the wild divergence
patterns. I admittedly don't use filters in my inbox (aside from spam,
which gmail is phenomenal at), so perhaps that's the part of "you aim too".
And since I'm not on Facebook/Twitter/Whateverelse I suppose I haven't lost
my resistance to alert type e-mail.
"I have a growing instinct to avoid mechanical distractions and screens
because I want to be in the presence of this place."
