I see this as the equivilant of us getting those annoying emails fowarded to us by people we barely know, and of a subject matter I don't care about, or actually find offensive and/or contrary to my beliefs.

How many emails from "nice people that thought about me", or, put you on their frickin' group address does one have to get before you ask, then tell, then beg the person to take you off their list.

Take the number of emails we get emblazoned with roses and butterflys, telling us about the saving power of Jesus, or jokes how a cucumber is better than a penis, or a request to help out a little girl with some mysterious illness, and God bless you by the way for doing what Jesus would do.....and multiply that by a factor of X.

I've got 3 or 4 people I share jokes with...friends I know well that share my humor.

I wonder about people send fan mail. What makes them think their letter is going to affect the recepient to the degree they intend? It's more about the writer anyway, having this Need to Share Their Feelings.

Good for Mr. Starr. I can't imagine what it would be like to be famous and to receive unending messages from complete strangers who think they know who he is.

Can you imagine the nutcases who must write him, and their requests?

You mean "solely if it's from some flounder", don't you?

@Merry Andrew,
I think Ringo received one too many nude pictures of a grandmother with the message, "Now that my husband's finally gone, all this is yours".
