Oh, I also avoid web-based email clients... though one of the 
biggest PROBLEMS I have with gmail is that it attempts to thread 
things automatically!

I just want everything presented to me, in chronological order. 
My brain has a storage capacity of more than 800 quadrillion bits 
and a total linear computation speed of 60 trillion operations 
per second. It is equipped with sophisticated 
hardware-accelerated pattern recognition algorithms capable of 
multi-dimensional spacial processing as well as state-of-the-art 
natural language handling.

Most attempts at computer assistance do little beyond hindering 
the operation of my superior neural net. Just feed me the data!

I at least skim *every* post made in the ng, usually close to 
real time as they come in. The content is then digested and 
indexed in my brain for future use (and the undigested data is 
still available through the computer and my local client can look 
it up by date, poster, content, or yes, the threading headers all 
with ease)

I often see people complain about how they find 50 emails a day 
to be completely unmanageable. I've handled an average of about 
350 per day, every day, for about six years now. It takes about 
10% of my work day, which isn't insignificant, but being aware of 
what's going on - sometimes, one person's problem today is my 
answer tomorrow - brings benefits in excess of the cost.
