I don't know about other parts of the world but over here in South East Asia almost EVERYBODY I know forwards and receives several huge emails everyday.. between 50KB and 3MB.... I probably receive about 20 a day from my local friends here.. very occaisonally I receive one from my european friends.. (maybe once a week if I'm lucky)
Questions:
Is this a cultural thing do you think?Can anyone else relate to this?
Surely this must be slowing down the internet servers over here.. and also internet connections.. is that correct?
I am getting sick of it to be honest... I wanna start a campaign to stop forwarding shitty email.. anyone else feel the same way? Or are you pleased to get mildly entertaining videos in your email.. commercials, home videos.. 10 images of a tropical island, 10 images of cute animals etc etc..??
Thanks for your time..

I hate getting that crap and have made this quite clear to those who might be prone to such activity. If you get enough of it, you'll just end up seein the same garbage over and over again.

yeah.. exactly.. cos so many people do it here.. I get the same email maybe three or four times a month.. cos one person forwards to all their friends .. and then eventually you have some mutual friends.. anfd then you get it again.. Grrrr.... It really gets on my tits.. so welded, its the same in N. America do you think?

I would assume as much. I never had to put up with much, but I can completely see it being a universal thing.
Like stupidity, but that's just a coincidence. ;)

lol...almost everyone i know knows not to send me such nonsense.
if they are my friends and i want to see whatever it is they have that is that big, i give them my FTP info.

And if they can't figure FTP out, I guess that's just hard cheese, eh?

haha.. I understand how u feel. Before yahoo & hotmail increase their space... my account always run out of space getting real email from friends. But now...it's worst... I sometime get more then 50s forwarded mail just by one person. Then next day I'll get the same forwarded email from another friend, then another..then another. it's crazy... I'm sick of it too.
but yet, when they send me forwarded email, I know they're still alive and kicking.
may be it's a way they say :"Hello...I'm still here."

There is no way I would let a bunch of crap email get to my inbox, and I would bitch out any friend who would dare send it to me!
In otherwords I only get what I ask for.

hmm... yeah.. its kinda hard when one of the culprits is ur girlfriend though init? She got well offended when I told her to stop..
:P
Has anyone got an example of an email they have sent out to a friend to tell them politely (or not), not to send such crap?
