Dear "friends",

Just a kind, educational note, when you send mass forwards to people, it is polite to strip out all of the unnecessary junk like other e-mail addresses of those who got it before you. I have been plagued by junk mail, which can be directly traced back to pleasant e-mails from friends who sent something to many other folks who forwarded it other folks who forwarded it and so forth and so on. If you looked, what we received today had other people's e-mail addresses in it and the spammers love to harvest these and sell them. It is big business, "friends"!!! Let's put those spammers OUT of business by protecting friends e-mail addresses. (A GREAT tip is to put everyone's e-mail address in the "BCC" portion of your header then nobody can harvest your friends' addresses).

Please take this in the friendly manner it was intended. Thank you and God bless you!
