The Vox Box

Please be dumber

Attatched is a picture of a message I got in my email. It is my email service letting me know that they finally blocked a piece of spam mail.

Can you be dumber? Not only is this only the third time in 5 years of using their email that they actually blocked something, but they send me a message that is of no more value than spam letting me know it.

Is there anyway to scream "not only am I incapable, but I nullify my victories!" any louder?

Anyone else have any experiences like this?

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
