In response to Never Send An Email In Anger, Lars Bergstrom recommended that I set up a rule that defers sending an email for 1 minute. I set it for 2 minutes under Outlook XP like so:

• Tools->Rules Wizard
• New
• Start From A Blank Rule
• Check messages after sending
• Which condition(s) do you want to check? -> None
• This rule will be applied to every message you send. Is this correct? -> Yes
• What do you want to do with this message? -> defer delivery by a number of minutes
• a number of minutes -> 2
• Finish

And it works like a charm. It’s always w/in the first second that I wish I could recall a message, so two minutes should be more than enough. Wahoo!

Here. "It was slow and it was buggy, so they wrote it again. Now they're up to OS 10. They'll charge you for the beta and then charge you again." "Bill Gates may be richer than Captain Kirk, but Windows blows. And sucks. At the same time!" "Linux... It's a great big mess for elitist, nerdy shmucks... Getting it running is half the fun, but I've got a girlfriend and things to get done." Equal opportunity bashing of "everything since the abacus." Also hilarious.

Here. "I could tell 'em to blow smoke up their USBs ports and they'd do it." Life from the working end of an ISP support desk. Hilarious.
