Ya, that's my rule too. Things are pretty good right now because there are no interweb noobies in the family right now. It's the noobies that are the worst for this. There's only one old guy who still sends me stuff, and he's generally pretty selective about what he sends so I don't mind.
One other thing that I told everybody is that these forwarded e-mail things are just a plot by spammers to harvest e-mail addresses. The set these things in motion and let them collect strings of addresses that they can harvest. And that even goes for the cute little missing girl from Minnesota. I don't know if spammers actually harvest addresses like that, but people seem to believe me and it generally works to get them to stop sending me shist.
