I got back from holiday today. I left on Dec. 28 and was gone for 5 days.

Yes, that’s 27,000 messages. Don’t worry—most are spam.

Who has mentioned this item?

I feel honoured that my new years email was responded to at all, given how much email you had to sift through.

Wow! That's a ridiculous amount of e-mails. I really do hope that most of them are spam. Thanks for visiting, it was awesome!

I said, "Noriko, guess how many emails Travis had waiting for him when he got back from 5 days of vacation?" She says, "a million?" "No, not a million..." "A hundred thousand?" "No, not a hundred thousand, but twenty-seven thousand. That's a lot!" She shrugs her shoulders.

You'll have to do better, I'm afraid, Travis, to impress Noriko. Her own daily spam barrage has apparently overloaded her spam-surprise-receptors...

Awesome to have you back, by the way!
