How would you handle this?

VT, I have been to upset about it to go talk to her, I replied on one of her emails FORWARDS to ask how long she had been online. I have to wait until I am over the anger of her tying me up for that junk before I go actually talk to her but I DO think she has got the message... I am only got ONE email from her since then... Titled " Excellent Info on sending e-mails - safely"
(If anyone is interested in seeing that I would be glad to forward it to you!)

Gini, you really cracked me up with,

now I have to practice what I preached. Delete, delete, dele

I am so glad to see I am not the odd one in the bunch that hates forwards. I really thought I was odd, different or something.

Oh no, you are not odd.............to add to the story - the person who thought they knew me (or I don't remember them) forwarded an email to everyone and it has now come back to me from complete strangers FOUR TIMES TODAY!!
It was one of those "if you don't send this in six seconds all of you are going to hell"................"

Sometimes on the internet, I feel as though I am in HELL.

That also is what makes me mad.... to get the SAME forward mulitple times, especially in the same DAY! GRRrrrr! ANY of those that say "if you don't forward this to "X" number of people, I delete immediately. I very, very seldom send out impersonal emails. (And those that say if I don't get this back......) GET A LIFE!

I have two neighbours that send me FW's. Guaranteed that if Betty sends me one, John will send me the same one the next day as we are both on Betty's email list.

I have not said anything to either of them about the amount of email sent my way for certain reasons. Instead I will just delete them because they are simply not funny. I won't set up a rule to delete their emails because sometimes they will email me with a computer problem; in which case, I just go over there and fix it.

On the flip side, I try not to send too many FW's either.

It's amazing to me that of all the junk e-mails that I should have forwarded in the first 10 seconds (or whatever) that calamity hasn't struck yet. I hit the 'delete' button and nothing happened. OH MY!

But, but, they say that lightening will strike - or your car will die - or your pet will throw up - or you will spill something all over the computer keyboard.

Hmmmm, you must have some secret that you aren't sharing with us.

Looks like we all have the problem to some degree. I have a friend who does this to me although I've repeatedly said I wasn't interested so I just delete anything I receive now. I open serious mail only or important messages, I can't be bothered with junk mail.
