I don't have to release my emails but I will just for the sake of full disclosure and most of you will be outright bored with the 2,639 messages I currently have in my inbox; the 93 I have trashed and the 1,590 I have sent.

Most of these sent emails represent the news roundups I send to the radio station. The others are answering various inquiries and sending out invoices.

The trashed emails are typically spam comments saying how much they love the website and how they are starting their own blog and what kind of advice I can offer them. The best advice is no advice. That's why I don't have a Just Ask Lance section on the website.

Of course, I'm not going to really discuss all of the nearly 2,700 messages I have in my inbox — it's just plain boring, although there's nothing I'm ashamed of in any of them, except maybe the ones from WhoSay, which I subscribe to because I wanted to keep up with sultry burlesque queen Dita Von Teese and comedian Jim Gaffigan.

Yes, I have an un-news side of me and I think Ms. Von Teese is exquisite and Mr. Gaffigan is uproariously funny.

I do get updates from the National Organization for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws, so that could make me a communist or beatnik, but it's a topic I'm interested in and NORML did post a story we reported on when the guy tried to pass off a piece of Pop Tart as crack.

Just in this morning was a comment on the 99 rocks of crack cocaine story.

That's right, I get to read the comments and decide whether they should be published. Some make the grade because they don't have cussing in them or are not like this one I got on the Rich Square shooting, which said, and I quote: “:cry: yfiuthou8juolpj789y6fgbue0tu9t345696u4pg3irgjr3ppppppppp5uuuu854p358jrkfdfldsnvstr8oe75rjfdnmddelsolendred dp['edoe3re3qefrwref/r'.”

I'm figuring that's gang code or just someone who never quite got the grasp of typing.

In another case of full disclosure, I've never had a typing lesson and practice a two and sometimes one-fingered approach, but have been doing this so long I rarely look at the keyboard when I type and amazingly there has never been a sentence coming out like cry: yfiuthou8juolpj789y6fgbue0tu9t345696u4pg3irgjr3ppppppppp5uuuu854p358jrkfdfldsnvstr8oe75rjfdnmddelsolendred dp['edoe3re3qefrwref/r.

There are Facebook notifications, typically someone mentioning me in a comment because I wished them a happy birthday or because I said something particularly sage like my last one from February 26 where I wrote, and I quote: “My next car is going to be a Subaru. The Corolla couldn't make it up the hill.”

This was a true statement going back to last week when my car didn't make it up the hill following the snow storm and the traction warning light flashed like an airliner in distress. After mulling this for some time I probably could have made it up the hill had I used a lower gear. I just didn't think about it and I needed a Facebook status just to let the kids know I'm OK.

I get emails occasionally from Rainn Wilson of The Office fame because his Soul Pancake project makes me smile, especially Kid President.

Speaking of presidents, I get emails from the White House and I am subscribed to Ron and Rand Paul updates because I believe in their platform and think Rand deserves a shot at the GOP nomination.

I have an email from a friend asking me to look over his research paper he is writing to earn his degree. It was a great paper on the dangers of solely using testimony from eyewitnesses because of lapses in memory and other factors.

There are obits, Google news alerts and for some reason notice of a Holiday Seized Boat Auction that's going to be held Saturday in Buford, Georgia rain or shine. I'm not sure how I got on this list, but it makes me feel important that someone would think enough of me and invite me to Buford for what promises to be a spectacular event.

Of course there are loads of news releases from law enforcement. As is my practice, I don't just copy and paste them — I read them to determine whether I need to ask follow-up questions and then shape them into style.

Ninety-nine percent of the time I have follow-up questions and a news release is not published until I have asked those questions. For me, it's not about being first, it's about trying to dig out as much information as I can before posting. Those efforts can be seen through a load of declined to comments and would offer no further elaborations. Hey, you can't blame a guy for trying.

I have among the 2,000-plus emails updates from National Geographic because I am a subscriber who needs to renew my subscription.

I get photography tips, stuff from eBay and Amazon and even emails from the New York Mets, although I'm a Dodgers fan.

I get suggestions on who to follow on Twitter.

Despite the fact that rrspin has made more than 14,000 tweets — this being because our rrspin Facebook posts go to Twitter and not the other way around — I'm not a big fan of the platform — something about all those celebrities who have a habit of saying something stupid and then have to apologize for it.

Plus, the word tweet is absolutely ridiculous, kind of like the word flapjack is insane to me when pancake perfectly sums up what a hotcake is all about. I wouldn't follow Rainn Wilson if he called his project Soul Flapjack.

I could go on about all the emails I get, even the ones I get from Lonestar although Lonestar is closed, and the one from someone who sent me their reality show script, which I plan to read this weekend, but I think you get the idea.

None of my emails will probably be as interesting as Mrs. Clinton's. I doubt anyone is interested in my car maintenance history or the offers I get from Land's End or Ralph Lauren.

They said on NPR this morning it's going to take a while to go through all her emails. I'd believe it and if she did the right thing as a public figure from the start she wouldn't be going through this and I wouldn't be writing a mildly humorous column on it.

I'm just hoping with my decision to disclose my emails someone can tell me what :cry: yfiuthou8juolpj789y6fgbue0tu9t345696u4pg3irgjr3ppppppppp5uuuu854p358jrkfdfldsnvstr8oe75rjfdnmddelsolendred dp['edoe3re3qefrwref/r' really means — Lance Martin
