YOU'VE GOT CONVENIENT MAIL

What an interesting revelation: Bill Gates gets four million emails a day. As pondered on by all manner of news providers with nothing better to say.

Inbox

Fascinating. But - unless spammers have only just woken up to the fact that bill.gates@microsoft.com might lead somewhere - presumably this is the kind of news story that could have appeared at any time during the last few years. So how convenient for it to be made public just now - when Microsoft is in court defending its policy of deleting potentially awkward emails. Poor Microsoft, it certainly does have a big problem dealing with all that mail. Funny how these coincidences just crop up.

<p>Now we know why Microsoft is not too keen on preventing spam. If they were to assist in the process then that entire department that monitors Bills 4+ million e-mails, will be out of a job.</p> <p>I guess you only make things known when it can benefit you in someway or the other. So now everyone knows that Bill's got too much e-mails to keep them all and therefore some of them have got to go. And I guess, the BillGatesMail department thought that any e-mail that had Burst in it HAD to be spam and deleted it.</p>
