I got my first of these “welcome” messages from a well meaning chap in the States. I sent back a “thank you it was very kind of you to think of me but I’m an athiest. I thank you for your kind thoughts but would rather not recieve such emails again”.  
Well I thought that was kind …yet resonable. What I got in return was a tsunami of “god loves you” shite. If god loves me so much why can’t he realise I want him to stay out of my inbox!!!

Sue them?!? Feeling a bit litigious today?

I don’t mind forwarded glurge and jokes. Unlike spam people aren’t trying to pretend the messages are anything else so it’s easy enough to delete it without doing anything other than a quick scan through the message. I kinda like knowing that someone’s thinking about me enough to forward me crap, anyway :).

Then again I get at most 1 or 2 bits of glurge a day so maybe I should shut up till I start getting more.
