I have tried asking her not to do it. She'll stop for a while, but always starts again. I don't even read her email any more unless I'm pretty sure it's a personal note.<BR/>I think the worst kind are prayer chains that tell you terrible things will happen if you don't forward them.

It has good information in it. Maxine didn't accompany mine.
