On Fwds
Ever Notice that many of the so called friends in your life ,become so busy with their own lives that they dont keep in touch ! Well being their friend you can forgive them for that , atleast you get that once a year birthday call or card etc .
What pisses me off is that category of friends who would rather send you 10 pointless , superstitous fwd's a day but not take out the time to write a personal mail .
well i have such a friend , and after mailing her a no. of times, and even calling her up and telling her to stop sending me fwds that were so pointless she still refused to stop …. and that really made me very angry As a result i wrote her a letter which i inculded below … hope u enjoy reading it as much as i did writing it ! …..and yeah ! i cc'd this email to all mail to all out common frinds . heheheheh!
Dear Ms. ######
Your incessant ludicrous mania with sending , superstitious or pointless forwards only , as means of keeping in touch , baffles and deeply disturbs me .Furthermore your continuing effort to ignore all my previous emails ,asking you to stop this leads me to infer , that you have no respect what so ever for me . Even though I find that very insulting , I am making this final effort to be civil to a person i called my friend .
Please stop mails like these , a 2 line personal email will mean much more than a fwd mail.
I realize that you have moved on to bigger better things and trivial matters like old college friends have little meaning .You obviously don't have the time or the will to write an email that will take 2 Min's out of your busy schedule , and for the sake of appearances you send us these FWD . . It is quite all right if you don't send them to me at all .I will not feel bad or bad mouth you, if you stop mailing altogether . I think it is a very normal development that old friends grow up and suddenly find that they do not want to maintain certain friendships . All I ask of you is to stop the farce , If you do not want to keep in touch send me no mails at all including FWD's.
This is the last time I'm asking you to stop . All future attempts to send FWDs will be considered as a hostile action and dealt with accordingly . I'm sure you remember how i was when hostile . Even though I do not get angry that often now a days , let me assure you when i do , I am more vindictive than ever before .
On the other hand a friendly , personal email will be considered as a token of our continuing friendship and as a sign of mutual respect .

Hi Evil, Nice post and nice mail too.
Even I feel the same sometimes. Ppl just keep on sending the forwards and dont get 2 mins to write a personal mail. Most of the time I delete the forward mails, but never thought of writing back to stop this nonsense.
Next time, I will send your mail to them.
Cheers
