OT:A way to deal with those people who forward a ton of email

[Kathy Applebaum]

I'm not picking on you if you are one of those people who have to forward
every joke, LOL cat, and goofy picture ever invented, just so long as you
keep me off your forwarding list. :)

For the rest of us, there's http://www.thanksno.com/

Better than I could have written it myself. Enjoy!

Thanks yes...very much so.... my sister in law has been looking for
something like this site for ages. She's on a very slow dialup and has
several friends who need a gentle prod not to send her loads of "spam"

If reasoning with them doesn't work and threats of bodily harm fail too,
I've found that constant and excessive whining to be effective. Polly

Most people that are in the habit of forwarding would have a good
laugh (certainly you don't mean THEM) and then forward the site to
everybody on their list. LOL

Please teach me how to do that! I have a dear friend who hasn't responded to
any of those methods. I finally wrote a rule in my mail program to
automatically put any mail from him that has an attachment straight into the
trash. :(

That is what me daughter had to do with her grandpa. He still just
laughs. I actually like getting his junk forwards because I know
he wakes up alive if he is forwarding emails. I have found most
folks are reasonable if you ask. Then there are others like your
df.

I enjoy just plain funny forwards, especially cartoons or precious pet
antics. The ones I'd like to dynamite are the 'send this to 10 people or .
. .'.
Hell will freeze before I ever send one to anybody. Even if I really want
to. It's just the pig-headedness in me I guess. Polly

Polly - I sympathize! BUT these are also the folks who don't delete the
addresses of everyone everywhere who send the message along -- why don't
they realize that this is one way spammers get our email addresses????????

here's one that I often send back to "those" folks! <<spew warning>>

VIRUS ALERT

We have been struggling with virus junk so much, I just have to show you the
alert that just came to me:
If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," delete it immediately. Do
not open it. Apparently, this one is pretty nasty. It will not only erase
everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks
within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes the stripes on all your
credit cards. It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on
your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt
to play.
If you drive a Ford, it will start missing like a Chevy.
It will program your phone auto dial to call only your mother-in-law's
number. This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink
all your beer. For god's sake, are you listening? It will leave dirty socks
on the coffee table when you are expecting company. It will replace your
shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all the while dating your
current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing your Visa card. It will
cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun
when someone loses an eye. It will rewrite your backup files, changing all
your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable
misspellings that grossly change the interpretations of key sentences.

If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows 95/98/ME/XP environment, it
will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in
dangerously close to a full bathtub.
It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and
pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk. PLEASE, WARN
AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN! Now copy, paste, and send this to everyone
you know or the program I
just put on your hard drive while you read this E-mail will open up
your CD-ROM and reach out and slap you upside the head.

Judy, that's a riot. We have a niece who teaches high school computer
techies. She's going to love it. Bless you, Polly

Your niece does need to remove the "drink all your beer" part - and change
the "Mother-in-law" to "your worst enemy".... <BEG>
