| Someone sent me 23 texts inside an hour after dinner the other night,
| -none- of them actually remotely necessary or conversational.  It was
| either get supremely ticked, or laugh about it.  I chose the latter.  :)

In several on-line Forums that I follow for cell phones or other
equipment, someone asks a question, then someone else posts "please
answer the question because I have the same issue".

Would you classify that as spext?
