Comments on: Pardon the Dust http://stopforwarding.com/hello-world/ Politely and anonymously ask them to stop forwarding you junk email.

They feel they have received an email from you that was unwanted... and they felt like they could not speak or email you directly for whatever reason. I have personally mentioned to many friends that I HATE the forwarded jokes, pictures, and urban legends. I have seen them hundreds of times before and don't have time for them. However many continue to send them. They do send personal emails that I do want, so I can not just block them from my inbox. This site allows people to send a friendly reminder and I think it's great J White – I would say at least one of your friends feels differently than you do.

Regardless of the situation anonymous emails/letters should never be sent to anyone. If someone still persists in sending out emails after being requested by the person to stop, then the person receiving them should arrange for the emails be be barred from their inbox. I think very carefully before sending any emails out to my friends and have never sent out offensive emails to anyone and never will. A true friend should be able to have the courage to say "Please don't send me any chain emails." without resorting to anonymous emails/letters. I do not agree.

In addition to your own feelings, I'd also encourage you to think about how the person who sent you the anonymous email feels. Depending on the content of the emails you forward, that person could feel offended, alienated or just plain bothered. The site won't be closing. @J White: While I agree that sending a personal note to the forwarder is better than an anonymous letter, I also know that there are situations where that is not the best solution.

It is much better to be open and honest and send a personal email to your friend and tell them you would prefer not to receive chain emails. Anyone who sends an anonymous email to a "friend" is causing hurt to that person and all anonymous letters/emails are evil and the person doing sending them needs help. Close this site down.

I'll try to make this a bit more obvious. @David Kozinn: The email text can be viewed by clicking on the link towards the top of the page where the 3 Steps are (next to the number 2).

I was about to refer a few friends to this site and wanted them to see the text of the email that goes out, but couldn't find it. Did I just miss something obvious?

(1) after a successful submission, the information which is displayed causes the SEND button to fall off the bottom of the box. Which makes it extra clicks to go back and submit a new recipient. (2) after an UNsuccessful submission, the error message asks you to correct the errors below but you cannot see or read them. I would also suggest a CLEAR button next to the SEND to make successive submissions easier. Thanks! The new blue side box for enterring the name and email is not working right in Firefox.
