I requested this in a journal entry yesterday, but still got several more after I did so and wanted to ask here as well -

I ask, PLEASE, do not send forwarded messages to me. They are annoying, I don't read them, and they are a waste of time.

I have decided that, from now on, anyone who sends them to me is going to get spammed like there is NO tomorrow in their inbox. FAIR WARNING!

i like your take on this.
i hate forwarded messages too. i never read them.
way to be PROACTIVE!

deleted_user 09/15/2007

Eh I just ignore them.

deleted_user 09/15/2007

Haha, fair warning!
Yeah, I hate them too. I immediately delete them.

deleted_user 09/15/2007

I agree with you Shari. They are annoying. I don't read them either. I get excited when I see I have new messages, but then just get annoyed when I see they are forwarded messages.

deleted_user 09/15/2007

What makes you think anyone reads your journals?
I'm KIDDING Shari. Oops I've done it now.

deleted_user 09/15/2007

That's why I don't collect a bunch of "friends"...I don't get any garbage that way.

ShariB 09/15/2007

LOL Gab! Yeah yeah yeah, I know. That's why I posted the message here. I think only about 2.7 people read my journal per month. HA!

deleted_user 09/16/2007

i hate forwarded messages especially the ones that say youll die and stuff like that if you dont send them to so many people.they are annoying.

deleted_user 09/16/2007

no one likes them i dont know why anyone sends them.....shari, ' a little touchy today??'

ShariB 09/16/2007

"touchy" has nothing to do with this post, Jann.

I don't like something, and have asked for those that are sending me the crap stop. How is that touchy?

ShariB 09/16/2007

Just got two more forwards of the "Daddy, it Hurts" one. I think that makes about 15 times I've received THAT one this week. Honestly, I guess the spamming the people back isn't going to solve anything. The only choice I have is to just remove them from my friends' list, which I hate to do, but I guess they don't read the boards or my journal anyway so..Gonna have to.

deleted_user 09/16/2007

I just forward things I really read and pass it on. If I pass it on and you were offended, I sincerly apologize.
