>The fact that there is still the occasional CEO that brags about not even reading his email (granted its been 10 years since I heard something like that publicly) is ridiculous. Actually, these days, that might not be such a ridiculous thing. One of my engineer coworkers brags about how he never reads his (work) email either. And he has good reason for it: it's just full of spam and junk, even from the company. If there's something truly important he needs to know about or do, his manager or a coworker will tell him. Of course, part of that is because the rest of us who do read our email are basically acting as his filter, and informing him of the important things he's missing. But serious, email is such a cesspool now that I can see why someone would avoid using it, especially at work where they typically use Microsoft Outlook instead of GMail. At least GMail does a pretty decent job of filtering things, showing you the important stuff, putting spam in the spam folder, etc. Outlook is pretty useless by comparison.
