Dear Gmail

Dear Gmail,

Please stop classifying almost all of my mail as spam. I’ve had to slog through thousands of real spam to pick out all of the false positives over the last week or two. It hasn’t been fun and I know I’ve missed some. What’s the deal, Gmail? You’ve been so good up to this point!

xoxo,
Ryan

That’s weird. Gmail is remarkably good at spam filtering for me. I almost never have false positives and only maybe 1 out of every 40 or 50 spam messages make it through to my Inbox.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
