Response to What's wrong with !!!!

Well, in this person's case, I should also be grateful that she rarely forwards anything. Bonnie and I have both been plagued with people who send e-mail that has been forwarded so many times you have to scroll down several screens to see what the message is. I got two today from someone, and never DID find the message! Since the subject lines on both called them jokes, maybe that WAS the joke!

Many of the people I exchange e-mail with, are in the process of not even reading the mail with a long forwarding list as they fear virus problems. It is just discarded without reading. Then . . . . .there is that dam spam.
