Got a kick out of this – declared by Fred Wilson of Union Square Ventures and followed by Jeff Nolan there is a way to get out from under the mountain of email piling up in your Inbox and the demands it places on you – declare email bankruptcy.

Whether this is closer to liquidation or reorganization remains to be seen but certainly is a great way to surrender from the juggernaut that is our Inbox. Especially true if, like me, you have been out of the office for a few days and have been on a Blackberry alone.  Wired did a piece on this a while back and instructs you how to engage with your "correspondence creditors."

Looks like Fred is going with liquidation while Jeff is going to reorganization by opting with voice-only communication going forward.

I always tell people that I read every email I receive, I just don’t reply to them all – and that is proving more and more difficult but I think I can stave off email bankruptcy in the near term although I am on shaky ground.
