    Great solution

    Thanks for sharing this alternative solution -- what a nice way to say "no!"

    No Thanks! Love it

    This is one of the best and funniest thing I've seen in a long time. I love it.

    I got so frustrated with my wife (and rest of the family) sending my forwarded email, that I got a separate yahoo email name only for them which gets parsed into its own folder!

    This solution is much more direct, but neither my nor your solution will cause them to change, but I love the "in your face" reply you offer!

    A little "tough love"...

    Here's the best solution: Think.

    Do you really want everyone getting your reply? Maybe. Maybe not. Do you need to share that witty remark with everyone in the department? Uh, no.

    Yes, in these days of Continuous Partial Attention I'm asking people to take a few seconds and actually think about the action they are about to take with that email. Let's stop looking for a technical solution (a filter, a better widget, a URL) for every human problem.
