How Darwin Managed His Inbox

An anonymous reader wrote to mention an MSNBC article on how Darwin and Einstein managed their inboxes. From the article: "A new study finds that the correspondence of Albert Einstein, as well as that of Charles Darwin, followed patterns similar to modern e-mail communication. Einstein sent more than 14,500 letters. But he received more than 16,200, and responded to only a quarter of them. Darwin mailed more than 7,500 letters. He responded to 32 percent of the roughly 6,530 letters he received."

    Wow, someone had a little too much free time on their hands...

    Also, are they suggesting that Darwin and Einstein were similar... because there is nothing smart about evolution. In fact, the idea is extremely dense. (I know i will probably get a "-1 Flamebait" mod, but it is worth it. ~~ Bring it!)
