re:  e-mail

okay, you've got to stop.

the jokes, the cute things with animation, the endless forwards -- just stop.  you've had e-mail too long to still be doing this crap.  also, may i alert your attention to snopes:  wearing a ponytail is not going to make me a rape victim.

Dude.

No kidding.

I did the "reply all" to my dad's "OMGWTFCOCKROACH" emails a couple of years ago with the debunking link from breakthechain.org and a friendly service announcement that it or snopes are really good sites for checking things out.

he didn't quite get the picture until I finally replied all with all of that info and the warning that, though I loved him and would *never* change my phone number and not tell him, I would not HESITATE to get a new email address and NOT tell him and actually FORBID other family members to give it to him if he did not stop the MADNESS!

He did.

At least, to me. ;)
