After over 15 years, I am still surprised at the visceral response by some when being made aware of the common courtesies and responsibility that goes with using e-mail. Maybe they were not that much of a friend if they didn't know you well enough to know what they were sending was against your grain? Then, to continue when being asked to not do so -- well, what kind of friend is that? What a shame that had to be the reaction... Hey, Robert:

After over 15 years, I am still surprised at the visceral response by some when being made aware of the common courtesies and responsibility that goes with using e-mail. Maybe they were not that much of a friend if they didn’t know you well enough to know what they were sending was against your grain? Then, to continue when being asked to not do so — well, what kind of friend is that?

What a shame that had to be the reaction…

To no avail. Sometimes the message had 5 or 6 nested forwarding addresses, pages long! I could always tell when I was receiving one of these "block" busters, because my Eudora downloading bar would crawl, even though I have a 1 m connection. Finally, thinking that coming from a 3rd party, the message may sink in, I sent a copy of this topic to that individual. Who unleashed a flurry of anger at me. But. I haven't gotten a single email from them since. I tried in vane for two years to have a friend stop forwarding tons of jokes and cartoon, most of which went against my grain. To no avail.
