oh! I lectured a friend over and over and over about putting my address in those sites. I thought she learned - then they started again! I even gave her a yahoo address for me and said, if you need to put an address in, use this. She was so angry when I sent her that first e-mail asking her to please not do that!! And she is fairly computer savy!!

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!
