An ongoing purge I have been working on is to reduce the clutter in my email box and I have been systematically unsubscribing from most mailing lists. As I go thru the tedius steps to politely asked them to remove me from their mailing lists, I feel a pang of hesitation. I am very clear that I need to reduce the amount of unnecessary emails that fill my inbox - but we all have an innate need not to hurt anyone's feelings. unsubscirbe...it's not personal. it is practical.
