Erik,

>When I decide who to copy on a list, I go down the list and check only people that I think will be interested. The default is NO COPY, and you only get copied if I have a specific reason for thinking you will be interested.

Perhaps the people you are so mad at for forwarding messages have this same attitude. How can you tell the difference? I believe that Mr. Rauh preached a sermon to Jess Banaga about judgeing some one elses motives. Mabye you will be getting the same sermon.

>I think that a generic message advising everyone of the same strategy would do the job.

Will not solve your problem. The only way to please you will be to take the forwarding out all together.

Why complain about this? What, it takes all of 3 seconds to check and delete the messages. Grow up!
