Remember when you opened your very first e-mail account, and you were eager to get your first message? Back then, any message was exciting, even ones from strangers trying to sell you something, telling you the latest joke, or wishing you good fortune if you would just forward the message to 10 of your friends.
As the number of messages in your Inbox started to increase, however, it probably became more and more annoying for you to wade through what had quickly become unwanted e-mail to find the "real" messages. And occasionally, in your eagerness to purge your mail file of the junk, you accidentally deleted messages you wanted to keep.
You have experienced what we can call the "unwanted message syndrome" which can be described as: A person's tolerance for unwanted messages ("spam") decreases as the number of e-mail messages increases.
