Your point is good but I send jokes to people who forward my email address
because they do not know how to cut and paste or forward without cutting
addresses, AOL People seem to have a particular problem with this for some
reason. So I have been writing from a throwaway address lately (hotmail
rather than my main address, maybe I will go to gmail for this since hotmail
is rather slow and balky sometimes).
Someone I did NOT know actually answered one of the jokes I had sent to
someone on my list. By accident --but that means my address is being sent
out to potentially thousands of people. I have requested several times that
they not forward my messages but cut and paste but I continue to get
hundreds of email addresses forwarded to me so I know they are not cutting
them out.
Since there are a few people who reply it is not practical to send an
address that is completely anonymous.
