I am trying to be nice. I am gonna do a soft, short and sweet rant. I am sick and tired of getting forwarded emails from family and friends who don't know how to use the [Bcc:] feature! So, I typed out this email and sent it via [Bcc:] to everyone's email addresses I could find in those forwarded emails. Read the following:
Hello everyone!
I'd like to take a few minutes of your time. You'll find out why I have your email address.
Four of my family and friends sent me several forwarded emails with loaded with attached email addresses. If you got this email, it is because your address was also listed!
Not to worry and thank goodness for YOU, I am not a spammer and I do not work for advertisement in pornography, sexual medical advisement centers, drugs or other junk companies.
I feel this this is my civil duty to inform you the following -
Keep in mind that I say this with much love and respect.. and a lot of patience.
If you love, respect and cherish your family and friends, PLEASE stop using [To:] for listing your family and friends' email addresses whenever you forward emails! Learn to use [Bcc:] and use it faithfully and religiously! [Bcc:] stands for Blind Carbon Copy. When you send out emails via [Bcc:], everyone will NOT see other people's email addresses! Only the sender's. If you use [To:], you only want to use your own email address. If you add other email addresses in [To:], you are exposing your family and friends' addresses to potential strangers when the forwarded email arrives its destinations several times. Where is the privacy?!?
If you got a forwarded email and before you forward it again, PLEASE erase any listed emails FIRST, those people would appreciate your support and help in respecting their privacy. Your family and friends would appreciate NOT having to scrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooll down past all the former recipients' and senders' email addresses and forwarded subjects and inset lines sometimes with double and repeated posting of the email's contents all the way down and a few more clicks of the mouse scrolling to the bottom to get the point of the message. (annoyed loss of breath) Get my point?
If you already practice using [Bcc:] and cleaning your forwarded emails by cropping out unnecessary contents and former recipients' and senders' email addresses before you send it out... THANK YOU with the bottom of my heart! Well, your family and friends will THANK YOU tremendously, too!
It will reduce the spread of unwanted spam and virus.
I'm happy to be here to help you understand the joys of using [Bcc:]!
Happy Holidays!
Philip
P.S. Please forward this email to your family and friends, I am sure they would appreciate to learn of [Bcc:]. Before you do that, erase the senders' or my email addresses from this email! thanks again!
P.P.S. I rarely use this email account, so I probably cannot reply.
