Whenever you receive an email from him, print it out and go & see him, saying you want him to talk through what he is asking. Never reply by email, then he will be forced to spend more time writing up what's been said."take me to your leader"Comment

Better still, I will wait for a week, claim not time to read the rest of his ramblings and only book out an hour allocating the rest of the day for proper work.
Even better, I am in at 7am, so, will make myself available from 7-8 am, and see how badly he still wants a chat.
The email sign-up is very tempting though - only got clientco email though, not his personal one, or I would do this for sure.Comment

Offer to make him a cup of coffee. Add a megadose of laxatives. Hey presto. Boss on the toilet all day with his trousers around his ankles wondering why the world has just fallen out of his bottom. Him away from desk. No time to write long useless emails.
But wait..does he have a Blackberry? Better still chop his fingers off one by one.
No fingers = no typing = no emails.
But what about his nose........hmmm.
Better yet. Just shoot him (or leave).
HTHI'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.Comment
