Email eddiquette

More and more people seem to be forgetting that just because they received a joke email from someone, that it should be forwarded on to 10 or more of their friends without any concern for the size of the email message. Unfortunately I see more email content that is over 3mb in size (some as much as 10mb) and yet people do not seem to wonder why they have problems. The real problem I believe, is this email message that is over about 1 mb in size is usually some video that could quite easily have been watched directly from the website, therefore a link to the site would have been the correct method in which to send the message. Take a look at the mail in your inbox and look at the size of it. Odds are, anything over 1mb in size is not only some video or music bit, but is a joke, nothing of real importance. Especially if it means blocking other 'legitimate' mail from getting to you due to the mailbox being full.
