Don,
I agree with your premise.....but damn you're mean! <laugh> I just delete=
those multiple forward messages.....many times they no longer work anyway=
as the picture or whatever is damaged, specially when they come from a=
AOHell account, etc.

=A0 | =A0 that got it forwarded to them by somebody else that got it

=A0 | =A0 occassions I have had to open as many as 30 or 40 messages to get
=A0 | =A0 to what my "friend" wanted me to see.
=A0 |
=A0 | =A0 I have preached on that topic so many times (along with the use
=A0 | =A0 of BCC) that very few people send me forwards anymore.
=A0 |
=A0 | =A0 Nowadays when I get a forwarded message that was not cleaned up
=A0 | =A0 or was nested in another message I do a REPLY ALL to every
=A0 | =A0 address in every nested message telling them that I have sold
=A0 | =A0 their email address to a dozen different spammers. =A0When they
=A0 | =A0 reply asking how I got their address I explain how I got it and
=A0 | =A0 how they can prevent others from getting it. =A0I then suggest they
=A0 | =A0 tell their friends to protect their email address by using the
=A0 | =A0 BCC function. =A0I also tell them I didn't really sell their
=A0 | =A0 address.

=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 Your point is good but I send jokes to people who forward
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 my email address because they do not know how to cut and
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 paste or forward without cutting addresses, AOL People seem
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 to have a particular problem with this for some reason. So
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 I have been writing from a throwaway address lately
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 (hotmail rather than my main address, maybe I will go to
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 gmail for this since hotmail is rather slow and balky
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 sometimes).
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 Someone I did NOT know actually answered one of the jokes I
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 had sent to someone on my list. By accident --but that
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 means my address is being sent out to potentially thousands
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 of people. =A0I have requested several times that
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 they not forward my messages but cut and paste but I
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 continue to get hundreds of email addresses forwarded to me
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 so I know they are not cutting them out.
=A0 | =A0 =A0|
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 Since there are a few people who reply it is not practical
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 to send an address that is completely anonymous.
