Or, more accurately, the problem with the Internet. This is one day's worth of Spam filtering for our organization:
| Messages received by your organization in the past 24 hours | | 256478 Junk | | | 14911 Good | | | | Lovely. That's a whopping 5.5% valid email. I'll bet 50% of THAT is useless announcements, forwarded conversations, idle chatter, people sending each other jokes, and other wastes of time. So basically, about 3% of our email volume is actually useful.

I'd say that 50% of the 5% is awfully generous. You're probably hovering closer to 1%.
And people make jokes about batting averages.
