Sadly, it is universally understood that family members do not know how to properly use email. This isn't new. I'm not talking about how to check email. For that, there is the Presto Email Printer. Problem solved. I'm talking about something far worse. Receiving forwards, maybe? Nope. Of course that isn't what bugs me the most. As stated in the title, it's when people don't utilize the BCC option in every available email service for its intended use, privacy.
Getting constant forwards from each and every relative no matter how distant the kinship is bad enough on its own. But to make matters worse, my email address-along with scores more-gets snatched up by more distant relatives. To make matters even worse, people I don't even know now have my email address adding more crap to the clutter. This has to stop. We are living in the future now. It's time we put an end to people abusing technology. Look at it another way:If you saw someone using a stylus on
their mobile phone, would you not do
anything to help?
2010 response: I accepted the abuse.
2011 response: I will teach those who do not utilize the BCC
option for its intended use how to do so politely and effectively via email.
