Hi
To put it quite shortly, I think people who send these forwards feel
it necessary to send them to everyone in their address book, and
unfortunately, when they do this, the lists they're subscribed to get
these forwards sent to them.
The way I see it there are 2 solutions to the problem. 1. Only
send the forward to people you *really* think would appreciate it, it
keeps people who don't want them happier. or 2. Remove the e-mail
list addresses from your address books, so that just in case you do
mess up and send it to everyone, none of the lists have to get
it. Not only is it bad to send these things to lists they don't even
pertain too, it's even worse because incorrect info is still being spread.
Think before sending.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought this list was not meant for
forwards that did not pertain to JAWS? Did I miss something? If I am
wrong I will admit to it. Don't get me wrong. Forwards have their
place in this world, as does most everything else. However, unless
the administrator(s) of this list have decided to allow forwards of
a non-JAWS nature to be submitted, I sincerely doubt this is the
proper forum to post such forwards. While yes this is a forward that
I have seen circulate the net in recent months, and while I also
question the validity of the story mentioned alledgedly being true,
I think we all need to remember this is not the place to send them.
If you want to send them off list to people that's one thing. I for
one don't mind receiving forwards in my in box. I have a separate
e-mail account that forwards and such are automatically sent to. But
there might be others out there who don't wish to read things of a
non-JAWS nature on what is specifically a JAWS list. And further
still there may be those who don't wish to read forwards at all. Not
everyone has cable connections, and from what I know of some of the
dial-up or other services that are not high speed, some people may
only have limited times in which they are able to access the
internet/read their e-mail. This may also be true for those who use
library computers or computers in schools. Several of these
facilities are now resorting to placing monitoring software on their
networks in order to ensure nothing inappropriate is viewed/. This
is also true for some companies/state or governmental
facilities/agencies. Maybe not all facilities are doing so, but I
know for example there are universities and other state/governmental
facilities here in the state of New York that have such software on
their networks/machines.
While I'm not trying to come down on anyone in particular, I hope
that my advice is taken for just that, advice and not as criticism.
Thanks in advance for reading this.
