Stop spamming me, you *$^#%!

That's one way to ask someone to stop sending you unsolicited jokes, recipes, mushy stories and chain letters which threaten you with car accidents that will leave you paraplegic. On the downside, swearing at someone who could be your father/friend/colleague/guy you met once at a holiday is considered rude in most cultures. Therefore, the service from StopForwarding.us could be a great alternative solution.

This simple site lets you key in the spammer's emails address and name. An email will then be anonymously dispatched to the offender telling him/her to stop it--in a nice way. It's an interesting solution an age-old problem. We do see one problem. If the spammer-friend feels that only one person wants out of his mailing list, and doesn't know who sent the email, he may just do nothing about it. Perhaps it might be better to pluck up some testicular fortitude and tell him directly in a personal email--without the swearing, of course.
