Here's a rant.

You know what would improve e-mail 100,000 million trillion kazillion percent? Outlaw that damned FORWARD button!

I am so sick of e-mails in size 2,000 font with RED and BLUE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS and 100 jpeg attachments, spewing mostly numb-skull political garbage with instructions that "If you love Jesus and our soldiers, pass this along to 100,000,000 of your closest friends."

There's so much worthless trash out there, it's a wonder how the servers handle it all.

What makes these idiots think they have even one idea worth sharing, must less clogging valuable bandwidth?

Now THATS a legitimate rant.

And, to be fair, I get tons of them from good friends. Friends who are only 'trying to "share the love".

I just delete and move one. I've already lost a couple of friends who took offense at my gentle "please don't send me any more of this" replys.

I'm no longer worthy of their emails. Oh darn.........

Fair Access Policy Threshold Exceeded: YES

WTH? Sure I did some heavy downloading, but only during the 11 - 4 window where there is no limit. Then suddenly at 4 it says I've used up my daily bandwidth? Ugh, HughesNet you are ******* worthless.

HughesNet? Really? I didn't know anyone used that?

I considered it at one point what that seemed to be the only high-speed internet access available to me....

I would ask how it's working for you, but I think I know.

Yes, I also try to be nice and ignore those posts. I've also discovered through experience it does no good to complain. Either you lose a friend or they ignore your complaint and keep forwarding the crap anyway.

Oh, well. Felt good to vent about it, and I suppose that's what this thread is for.
