Have you ever had a friend or co-worker that forwards EveRyThing to you?  I have, and it's really annoying.  If I see FW before an email sent to me from a collective few FW abusers, I don't even bother to open them anymore.  There's something about those chain letters that makes me feel like bad karma is coming my way when I don't respond--so I just don't open them anymore.  And I love the tear-jerkers, too, but at work, who wants mascara running down her face?  Welcome the site www.stopforwarding.us  What a great idea!  I found this site on John Goldsmith's De Tools of the Trade--A great resource for teachers! 

This service will anonymously email a friend, co-worker, or spammer and let them know that someone isn't happy about all the FW messages he's received.  Pretty funny, but also, if it works--a 21st century must have.  Take a look:  www.stopforwarding.us

Thanks for the post ! I would like to introduce myself as John from WWW.StopForwarding.Com, the website that allows individuals to politely and anonymously email to their friends and ask that they stop the habit of sending forwarded emails or FWDs.

This is Just a quick note to say that we have now moved our site from www.StopForwarding.us to www.StopForwarding.Com.
