Agree with you that Spam mail has become one of the irritating elements of life, these days and thank goodness we have the junk folder. I usually mark them junk. Good one. <BR/><BR/>rohitthebest said:<BR/>Jun 22, 2007 02:15 AM <BR/><BR/>True in all its senses. <BR/>All these types of mails go to my junk mail forward straight and from there they go to ’’Shift Delete’’. <BR/>Simple. <BR/><BR/>Keep Writing <BR/>Rohit <BR/> gopionline said:<BR/>Jun 22, 2007 10:06 AM <BR/><BR/>I simply delete such mails, sometimes I also send across ABUSES to the sender and inform him not to send such mails again...... <BR/> enidhi said:<BR/>Jun 22, 2007 10:07 AM <BR/><BR/>Thanks Ipshonlu and rohit, <BR/>All these what I mentioned are human generated, which we can verymuch avoid contributing to, with little awareness... <BR/> Editenidhi said:<BR/>Jun 22, 2007 10:09 AM <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Unlike other computer generated spams, these are sent by our own friends and relatives, whom we can’t mark as spam outright as they also send legitimate mails. <BR/><BR/>Telling them not to send such mails (atleast to me) helps... <BR/> hakoonamatata said:<BR/>Jun 22, 2007 04:15 PM <BR/><BR/>Those who start the chain reaction of a spam mailer, are never idiots. On the contary I feel they are wasted talent - someone who had brains but without the will to do something good for anyone, even themselves. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Most of those who forward such mails are the real idiots, wasting their time (if it is any worth) and the reciepients’ time deleting it. We have lots of well educated people in our country, but most of us do not use common sense at such junctures, hence the result. <BR/> pooja_negi27 said:<BR/>Jun 23, 2007 04:59 AM <BR/><BR/>Hi, <BR/>Its really very informative, useful and well written review. <BR/>Best wishes. <BR/>Pooja <BR/> enidhi said:<BR/>Jun 23, 2007 08:26 AM <BR/><BR/>@hakoon..I agree with you. <BR/>@pooja- thanks for those words . <BR/> shriramsrinivasa said:<BR/>Jul 15, 2007 07:22 PM <BR/><BR/>Its an excellent review. Infact upon receiving such forwarded mails, I make it a point to reply the sender and people being cc’ed on that mail to explain that its a spam mail. Some people think whatever they read on the internet is true!!!! and they forward to others... <BR/> enidhi said:<BR/>Jul 15, 2007 07:28 PM <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment Shriram <BR/><BR/>Commonsense is not so common right???Shrinidhi Handehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-40688053666844644162007-06-15T22:23:00.000+05:302007-06-15T22:23:00.000+05:30Hi Rohal,Thanks for sharing that...Hi Rohal,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing that...Shrinidhi Handehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875443161762278339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-1156950112568918492006-08-30T20:31:00.000+05:302006-08-30T20:31:00.000+05:30this is something i posted on my orkut profile aft...this is something i posted on my orkut profile after being flooded with forwards regarding orkut deleting profiles. it had the desired effect:)<BR/><BR/>----------><BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>I’ll tell you what really annoys me. What really annoys me is an idiot who doesn’t know he’s an idiot. Actually being an idiot is reason enough for me to hate you. I have 48 people on my friend-list who are complete morons! Yes you know who you are and no I’m not going to tell anyone who you are.<BR/><BR/>So I wake up this morning only to find 48 messages clogging my inbox and pushing my important emails back. They all had the following subject “Beware of being thrown out of Orkut”. Now I have taken time out to explain to you imbeciles how you can help your friends by NOT WASTING THEIR TIME! <BR/><BR/>1) ‘Dear user because of<BR/>sudden rush of people signing upto orkut is come to an attention<BR/>that we<BR/>are vastly running our of resources so with in a week any one who<BR/>does not receive this scrap will be deleted of our server.’<BR/><BR/>Notice the English. I’m going to ignore the lower-case U in user. But you can’t overlook the crappy diamond comics-esque “…people signing upto(?) orkut is come to an attention…” Now this could only be the work of a person from a certain community in India. And I can also pin-point the college this person graduated from. Now of course he could really be working for Orkut, so at this stage let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and move on.<BR/><BR/>2) ‘…We know<BR/>that you are still using this account We want to find out which<BR/>users<BR/>are actually using their orkut accounts so if you are using your<BR/>then please send this scrap to every orkut user that you can if u do<BR/>not pass this scrap to anyone then we will delete your account…’<BR/><BR/>I mean come on… come on! If you’re still not convinced after this one, I’m quite sure you’re the person who still opens attachments from unknown senders who don’t specify what those attachments contain. <BR/><BR/>‘ We know….. we want to find out…’ My god if they know why do they want to find out? And if they really need to find out whether I’m really using this account, why don’t they just check when the last message was sent or received or when was the last time I scrapped someone! Now if the reason they can’t do that is because of the privacy issue then how the fuck are they going to be able to trace this one!! And don’t tell me they have a word-tracker that is designed only to track down messages sent with the exact content as that ‘warning’ message because it’s stupid.<BR/><BR/>3) “Just<BR/>follow these simple steps. 1. Click on the "Messages Tab" in your<BR/>account. 2. Click on the "compose mail" option which is the last one<BR/>of<BR/>the four icons you see together. 3. Select "all friends" 4. Cut and<BR/>Paste this mail.”<BR/><BR/>And that’s exactly what you did, and completely pissed me off on such an awesome day! Why the fuck would you have to select “all friends”? Why isn’t there a name? Why hasn’t Orkut contacted people individually? It is possible for them to send emails to all their members at once like hotmail does. Even shitty small websites send out e-newsletters to thousands of subscribers at once. <BR/><BR/><BR/>But all this is beside the point. I’ve received this email before, and I haven’t forwarded it to anyone. I didn’t get deleted in a week. Boy, I’m lucky aren’t I!<BR/>Remember all those forwards supposedly from ‘Yahoo’ threatening to delete your email account if you didn’t forward their mail to 20 people? Did u notice the name “Joe Smith”? Did you notice how Joe’s position was “Yahoo Manager”? Did you notice that Joe didn’t even get an authentic Yahoo logo to add to his outgoing ‘official’ emails…which even my 5 yr old nephew can ‘right-click and save’ from their hompage? Instead Joe had to make his own e-letter-head using Ariel 36 point in bright ‘whorish’ red.<BR/><BR/>Now if you don’t have the time to read emails you receive, please don’t waste my time.<BR/><BR/>Also, please note: Yet again, I’ve noticed a majority of you think you are Clever/Quickwitted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28310409.post-1152359294454162972006-07-08T17:18:00.000+05:302006-07-08T17:18:00.000+05:30Hi raveesh,You're probably right.
