Pet Peeve #927

I generally like my friends, but I have a few that only forward interesting anecdotes by email. There is no personal message, nothing that comes directly from them. I usually like these stories, but once in a while, it would be nice to get a message directly from them, not from Joe Schmoe that has been forwarded from someone in LA who I don't even know, or that my friend doesn't even know. That is all.
