E-mail Forwards

Not sure how many of you are sick of forwards or how many of you are part of the problem. Take a look at my new post about the topic on my blog.

As always I love feedback and ideas for posts.

You know, it is amazing how many people think that because something is written, that it is true.

I've started emailing my "forward junkie" friends links to snopes so they can get a little heads up on some of these things.

I have to admit, I do enjoy getting the good jokes, but hoaxes and some of the other junk drive me insane.

Yep, it's about time for Bill Gates to send me a check again!

I think the e-mail address scrapers and spammers start those knowing that they will end up getting it back at some point with lots of new addresses.

The worst is the forwarded, forwarded, forwarded, forwarded's. If those are ever worth passing along, I always go to the original, strip any e-mail addresses, and then forward as a clean e-mail.

Precisely.

Perhaps we should create a new signature for our joke emails, politely reminding our joke buddies about copy/paste instead of the forward button.
