Of course, I've sen some alternatives that are even worse. For instance,
a coworker at work once told me he puts his email address in the CC
field of every single email he sends, just so he can verify that the
email was processed and delivered by the mail server.

Send responses to the relevant news group rather than to me, as
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.
