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. :)
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"

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 Mickie
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. Taria

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.
