It is about bombing my mailbox with forwarded e-mail that goes 'this-is-so-bloody-funny', 'you-will-die-or-rot-in-hell-if-you-don't-send-this-to-millions', 'you-are-a-heartless-bastard-if-you-hit-delete', 'you-are-my-mostest-bestest-friend-in-the-whole-galaxy' and tons of other tripe. I will not have it. I am a sucker for funny, and I do appreciate the odd tidbit from friends, but I hate people picking up my address from someone else's list to send me arbitrary mailings or just hitting 'forward' because they don't want to die because they didn't. Hate is the word. I will tell you (and badly) that your unsolicited mass mailing is not appreciated. I know you think of me and it makes me very happy. It would make me much happier if you didn't hit 'forward' every time you did.
P.S. You could shout the title of this post in the manner of Richard O'Brien in Crystal Maze - "Can you start the fans please?!" (Ping me if you need a crash course in '90s television appreciation.)

I second that!
Although, you know I send you the good stuff & none of that other crap...
Faye, you have brought to your blog my deepest, darkest, most-hated email type. I HATE them too. And I HATE it that when I tell people (close friends, family, not-so-close friends, distant family) to stop sending me any, they're either heartbroken, or write back saying, "I always send you the good stuff."
No offense to ~ ms. cute pants~
Oh and LOVE LOVE LOVE CRYSTAL MAZE, although I never admit that in public, made an exception for you ;)

Whose comment did you delete?
Sorry I am desperate. lol

Wikipedia tells me that the ++hair guy's name was Ed Tudor-Pole. He wasn't half as good. Wasn't able to get you all worked up into a frenzy about the time running out for the crystal to be picked up!
