Forwarding Emails

To all the folks who like to forward cute, cool, or interesting emails to all of their online friends:

Thanks. I don't mind receiving them. Sometimes I really like them.

But, here's an idea. Quite often, I don't know most of the other recipients on your list. And they don't know me. Most of us probably don't want our email addresses appearing in the text of your forwarded email. How about deleting them out before forwarding the email on?

And, if you're sending an email to a bunch of people who don't know each other, how about sending "blind copies" ("bcc") instead of cc's, or instead of sticking everyone's address in the "To:" field?

Might cut down a bit on the spam that we all get.

Just a thought.
