Hmm. Apparently I've missed something by being out of touch so long.
Is there a description of your grand vision, somewhere??
Interesting notes for user-interface folks:
* In the interests of actually getting something done, I set up a
filter that
automatically moved unrev messages into my Bootstrap folder.
* Results:
a) That folder ballooned with ton-o-messages
b) I kept putting off that folder, "until I had time", which
never seemed
to materialize.
* The company just moved its offices, and the filters turn out to have
been stored on the server. In my new location, with a new server,
I lost all of the filters I had created.
* Results:
a) All unrev messages are in my inbox
b) I choose which ones I want to save. Others get killed.
c) I find myself responding to many.
The advantages of inbox. It's not just a matter of being too lazy to go
to an external website to see if anything interesting happened. I
wouldn't
even go to an internal *folder*.
Interestingly, the *more* active the list, the less inclined I was to
visit it.
If there was only one or two messages, then sure, no problem, I'd go
look. But when there was 20, I put it off for a day. Another 15
accumulated.
Put it off some more. Pretty soon, I hadn't looked at the accumulated
messages for a couple of months. At that point, I was pretty well "out
of
it". The chances of catching up were minimal.
Now, one *really* interesting observation is that the system Eugene has
developing may well have held the key for helping me catch up. More on
that a little later, when I've had a chance to digest what he showed us
today, and the verbiage springs into my head...
