I need to think of a polite way to tell a few people to take my name off of
their lists as I do not like to receive all of their jokes, miscellaneous
stuff, etc.. other than something I am corresponding with them about. I see
my name with a ton of their friends etc.. and I guess they forward their
jokes or whatever to all of us just because I have corresponded in the past
with them.
