Fireland / So Which Is Worse

So Which Is Worse / 5 August 2003

Now I’m sort of concerned that if I do start using this hot new anti-spam thing, my email intake will be suddenly cut down to like three or four messages a day. So this super-effective spam-catcher will snatch away that moment of hope I feel when the animated goat leaps across my screen and bleats “You gots new ma-a-a-a-ail!” (it’s an early version of Eudora—don’t ask) and leave behind only cold, lonely silence.

QUESTION: So which is worse, dashed hope or consistent hopelessness?
