Ghost emails

I was given to wondering this morning (as I deleted a host of 'promo' emails - mostly from differing commercial sources that I am "sometimes" interested in, so keep rather than 'spam filing' them away somewhere) just how many emails must there be out there, flying around the Ethernet and, I suppose, a great many of them going to the electronic equivalent of a 'dead letter post box'?

People change Internet providers (hence email addresses), abandon particular generic 'free' addresses - Gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc - loose computers, move on and, p'raps, even die - yet these emails keep going out on their appointed rounds and never being open and read?

Oh well - it is a wet day and one must find something to occupy their mind on such occasions when home alone! LOL!

Sunny here this weekend. Nice after last weekend's rain.

I call this 'Thinking out Loud'! John. I can't imagine how many are 'out there'! It's been wet here all day too with Hurricane Ophelia whipping by just south of us.
