Social email paranoia

Does anyone ever look at where their name appears in the order of recipients of mass emails? If someone sends me and twenty other people, I look to see where my name appears. I think it is a real gauge of friendship. Kind of like where your name appears on the speed dial of telephones.

You also need to make sure that the list isn't alphabetical. If it is, and your name is Xavier Zolan, then results will be skewed. But if your friend Zara Yoland comes first or second and you, Xaviar Zolan, comes last, then, my friend, you our outta luck on that one. No one likes you. Well, this person only likes you enough to get onto the email... at the bottom.

By the way, my address was 8th in a list of 48. Not too bad, not too bad at all. In fact, just bad enough.
