Occasionally one has persisted with the "friends" or suchlike type but one who persisted and sent me them via txt too, I sent her a sarcastic type one back, she got the point. And yes, they still speak to me.	pctek (84)

Reminds of one guy a few years back that used to send huge jokes amost daily - in the end I blacklisted him in mailwasher and bounced them back - I did ask nicely to stop sending so many - after a while he called me and asked had I changed my email -- He got told "not so nicely" why they were being bounced ;) Before I got mailwasher, did the same with some one that kept sending big files of R18 material, got so sick of it, saved up several as attachments and then sent the whole lot back. Took hours to send but he was on dial up and would have taken even longer to download. He got the message for a while but when he started sending them again, by then I had Mailwasher and I just added his name to my blacklist.:banana	PinoyKiw (9675)

1188665	2011-03-24 01:01:00	I'm not entirely clear LL whether you don't want Fwd emails at all or you object to the emails not being cleaned up . My own experience over many years is to simply grin and bear it . Nobody I've tried to educate takes it well and they simply don't send anything further . Mailwasher works well for filtering . I do take some pleasure in tidying up fwd jokes by removing previous addresses and editing the code to remove the vertical inset blue lines, and >> marks . I do want some fwds, like only from a couple of people, but not all those silly wishy washy, airy fairy things people love to send, like chain letter stuff . I'll just have to phone the senders I guess or tell them straight to their faces . LL	lakewoodlady (103)
1188666	2011-03-24 01:06:00	This is what I sent back: I just want to thank all of you for your educational emails over the past year . * Thanks to you, I no longer open a public bathroom door without using a paper towel . * I cant use the remote in a hotel room because I dont know what the last person was doing while flipping through the channels . * I cant sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed . * I cant enjoy lemon slices in my tea or on my seafood anymore because lemon peels have been found to contain all kinds of nasty germs including feces . * I cant touch any womans purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public bathroom . * I must send my special thanks to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing . * Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason . * I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time . * I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program * I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St . Theresas novena has granted my every wish . * I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers . * I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day . * Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes . * Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains . * I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer wont crawl in my back seat when Im pumping gas . * I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer . * I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me . * I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for or which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore and Uzbekistan * If you dont send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump . I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbors ex-mother-in-laws second husbandâs cousins beautician .	pctek (84)
