Although I do enjoy jokes... sometimes, and if they are really funny <g>...
I think just too much junk is being passed on indiscriminately.
Unfortunately, people just don't realise the harm that can come from
forwarding and opening everything they receive. That is how you get put
into spam lists and get all those pesky little virii, not to mention
cyberspace congestion <vbg> Another thing I hate is when people find a
funny website that offers to send and invite to "your friends"... they fill
in your addy and presto you are on that website and heaven knows what else's
list!

This has happened to me also. I received a reply(s) from
someone I don't know - to a joke that I sent to someone that
I did know. I just don't send that many jokes out anymore.
That helps solve the problem! I used to write to them to
tell them what they did, but I don't bother anymore.

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.
