A world where all is free: What about people who compulsively mark every mail with "importance: high"?

What about people who compulsively mark every mail with "importance: high"?
Insecure or plain dumb?
Ever heard of an insecure dolphin? Can't remember Douglas Adams having mentioned one.

I would like to share the following criticism of DAdams:
Douglas Adams forgot to mention which species of dolphins he was talking about. Talking about dolphins is like talking about apes . A statement like "dolphins eat sea weed" is like saying "apes eat termites" without taking into account variations in the culinary preferences of gorillas and orangutans (and George Bush).

Do you read their mail each time? Getting you to read every one of their mails is not that dumb :-) If the 'important' flag, does not make you read it, why fret about it and waste your health?

I guess these are the same people
who:
CAPITALIZE or *asteriskize* almost HALF of the WORDS in an EMAIL to *EMPHASIZE* them lest you miss those words.

Reading such emails is like the sender is kind of shouting in your ears :)

Which George Bush do you mean? Just saying George Bush is like referring to apes in general.

Which, come to think of it, is true even if you did specify which George Bush you meant, so never mind.
