Oy vey. It's just taken me four and a half hours to get completely up to speed and do something about the flamewars in theladiesloos. I've just finished a new set of posting guidelines. Would it be bitchy to add a rule saying "NO SODDING EMAIL FORWARDS, GODDAMNIT!!"?

I still have lots of Paint pictures to do for people - you're all stark raving geniuses, and thank you - but if I look at this computer screen for one second more, my eyeballs are going to burst. I'm going to do something else for a while now.

It's often as simple as "I've read the internet already, please stop forwarding me these old jokes". Invariably followed by them with "but I saw this one the other day about $blah and.." where you cut in, summarise very briefly, and skip to the punchline. A few iterations of that normally gets the point across. A few iterations of them finding people like this, and they realise there's not a whole lot to be gained by forwarding them, especially if they've got 20 levels of indents already.
