Jay, Not that I doubt you for a moment, but at 1 minute per email, that's 16 hours per day of reading emails!

I'm on many different mailing lists for various software packages, security lists, and other things. Plus, I get several hundred emails a week from people I work with on various issues. I get nearly 1000 messages a day
