I normally look at my email only a few times a day.
Sometimes I even shut the outlook app off so it's not open and running.
Managers and supervisors should have some people skills, if they need to get hold of me I have a phone within an arm's length reach and I am normally writing code at my desk and they can easily walk over to my cube and talk to me.
 Just don't be a reactive Pavlovian dog of an employee and you won't have to worry about your productivity.

I agree. It depends on what you do and how you and your customers (internal and external) use the tool. Personally, I've set the expectation that I check email a few times a day. Therefore, they know a response is not going to be immediate.
I deal with important emails by displaying a notification on a high priority message. I've also set that as an expectation and also that if you abuse the high priority flag it will no longer work for you. (I love Outlook rules.)
Personal emails is another story. I tend to jump on them. Well except messages from my ex.

That will never fly where I work. The head office thinks we do nothing but stare at our Outlook screens. It is not uncommon to get a phone call asking about the e-mail they sent that is just arriving after you've said, "Hello."
Really.
I spend mornings dealing with e-mails and the afternoons coding.

Having read your message....I am still at a loss as to what you are rambling on about.
Are you having a bad day?

Ah, I see.....
Is it free or does the $1200 (or however much) still apply?
I like free.
I like glass.

If were Dave Or Nagy they would want a filling for the glass...

$1500

I've money saved up for Glass but unfortunately I'm in the UK and can't afford to spend $1500 on them. Seriously wish I could get my hands on a pair though, I've got a lot of dreams and a lot of passionate for those Google Specs.... one day though... one day

He posted an invite to get Google Glass, and apparently got flamed for it. Seemed like a legit offer to his fellow geeks, not really sure why he got dinged.

FYI: I didn't perceive your message as spam either.

I thought it was a nice offer, not spam.
However, where's the CP button for, "Google wants how much for Glass???"

Errrm. What did I miss? I've only been out for a couple of hours.

"Any "meet up", link to an article/QA/Message, request for review, etc I will mark as SPAM."
No, you are too intelligent and reasonable a person to carry out acts of revenge.
Why not raise the issue of the removal of your post ... a post that seems entirely reasonable to me ... on the CP "Buggs and Suggs" Forum ?

Trouble is that since the downvote button was removed, the curmudgeons who used to downvote things they didn't like or personally want seem to resort to "abuse" voting instead. 
Not saying we should have downvoting back - if anything there are users who shouldn't be allowed to use it in QA either - just we need some balance on the abuse votes.

We should have downvoting back, I never agreed with removing it and it's important to be able to mark disapproval on a lower level than voting abuse (which is the only way to give a 1 right now so it's abused).

The best way to restore downvoting would be to only allow downvotes to people who have a nearly equal number of upvotes already. This will prevent those people who were just running around downvoting all the time. It will restore balance in that if you really hate something you have to really like something else to balance your outlook. Obviously a few points of slack will allow a limited amount of up and down voting without the need for an exact balance as should be normal usage.
To make the maths easier have an possible upvote of 1, 2 or 3 with a corresponding downvote of -1, -2 or -3.
Perhaps only go to 1 and 2 up and down as -1 = "I dislike that", -2 = "I really hate that" along with 1 = "I like that", 2 = "I really love that".

Or better, have a downvote affect your reputation points!
That'd discourage 'em!
