Today's Webtip: Email

Whatever you do, don't try this at home.

One of the best things about social networking, is that it has cleaned up my mailbox. Funny pictures? Someone probably shared it on Facebook, and I can easily ignore it. Shocked descriptions of terrible things that never happened? Ditto, but now when I post a link debunking it I no longer get the angry replies in my inbox.

This is good.

But there are still a few classic email abuses that take place on a regular basis. Endless forwards and a frustrating lack of understanding of what blind carbon copy might be god for, for example. But I'm not here to rant.

I would much rather post a link to a comic that can do the ranting for me...
