(OT) I used to be much more angry at the “send to spam” clickers on AOL webmail, but if you look at the UI, it’s really AOL’s fault. It’s terrible, and you can make it better by changing some default settings in their webmail, but most people aren’t going to do that. See this screenshot, and tell me you might not click the “do not enter” icon instead of the “trash can” icon… https://www.odrive.com/s/g/05672068-18d9-40b9-bc24-8c561bc70ef4-59e5936b <https://www.odrive.com/s/g/05672068-18d9-40b9-bc24-8c561bc70ef4-59e5936b> Charles > > Miles Fidelman > > > -- > In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. > In practice, there is. ....
