You know, since receiving the email with recommendations from ME, I have done a lot of thinking about our etiquette with regard to forwarding email from large groups of people to others. There really is a risk for contamination involved when doing that, We risk our own email status as well as that of our friends and coworkers. I know that while I have almost quit forwarding email altogether, I am not nearly leery enough, nor do I go far enough to make sure that my friends and relatives email addresses are protected from Internet predators. I will from now on, promise to "copy and paste" information when passing it along to others. And, quite frankly, upon polling my friends and such, while we all enjoy a pleasant "thinking of you" or "get better" or "Happy Birthday" card when relevant, none of us likes more than one or two forwards from the same person in any given day. I have had to write emails actually asking people to not send so many silly cards and post cards that take up so much of my time and can clog my PO Box so that I miss more pertinent mail. How do those of you out there in TMIC land feel about this subject? And, what if anything ought we do about each one of us taking our part in changing, if necessary, in the future? Or, should I simply be more thankful for getting any and all of the email that I do get and Thank the Lord that there are people who think of me at all? There are two ways to look at this. Peace, Jude
