Should you want to forward me (or anyone else) information that you received, please think about the following:

1. If you send a mail out to your complete list for a funny story or anything the like, for as long as you put all emails in the “to” or the “cc” field, I can see and use them. If any of the people you’ve mailed the funny stuff to decides to forward it to all of his contacts, not only will these guys receive all of his contacts, but all of your contacts too (unless the guy was clever enough to remove them). You will doubtlessly note that there is a chance of getting emails full of people’s email-addresses, addresses that are checked regularly, at work or at home. Now imagine how happy these emails can make someone involved in “spamming”, receiving a funny email, that actually contains loads and loads of valuable emails, and all for free!!! (in case you forgot, your email AND my email is in it too) So please be considerate, and DON’T contribute to my daily load of spam-mails! If you want to send me these emails, send them separately from the rest of your address-book, or….much better….put everyone you send the mail to in “BCC” (Blind Copy Carbon). Not only will I not see the rest of your address-book, but they can’t even be forwarded!!! And should you need to put an address in the “TO” field, If it is funny enough to mass-mail it to everyone, I’m sure you won’t mind sending it to yourself a second time .
