You keep replying to the really, really unlikely case. I can't remember the last time I got an "is this still needed?" email.

Why is this unlikely?

Last time I worked a traditional job I would get back after a couple of weeks away to find hundreds of emails. Many were corporate spam, sure, but the majority of the rest were time-sensitive requests for my input which you may as well file straight to trash, if you can figure out which ones are now irrelevant.

Far better to have an auto-trasher and a notice to say 'ask me again in two weeks if this is important'
