". . . An important email never made its way to me because, en route to my cluttered inbox, it took an unexpected detour to my spam folder. . . .
"I am grateful for the ways in which the filters usually work very well
to keep me from the annoyances of emails pitching goods, services,
political campaigns, sensational news stories and other things I would
rather ignore. I am even more grateful that they keep me from the
dangers of on-line scams and phishing attempts that could make my life a
lot more complicated with a few misguided keystrokes.
"Yet, the cost of this protection is, occasionally, the lost treasure.
"I sometimes wonder if, in life, our filters can sometimes make us miss out on other treasures."
In a recent commentary, writer/Professor Lucia A. Silecchia
reflected on the importance of developing wise filters that may save us much heartache if "they can help us avoid even the first tentative steps down destructive paths that can lead where we should not go."
