JUST SAY "NO" to e-Card services! DON'T USE THEM! (and don't send me one!) These "free services" make money by selling your email addresses to SPAMMERS.

Good natured, warm-hearted people all over the globe are unwittingly submitting the email addresses of their friends in order to send a fast, free e-Card this Christmas. And before they know it, both the sender AND the recipient of the e-Card has their IN BOXes full of non-stop SPAM for the rest of their lives.

Not all e-card services are so unscrupulous, but many are. They need to make money some way and spammers are willing to pay for email lists.

If you forgot to send an actual Christmas card this year, don't worry. Just send a thoughtful email with, maybe, a family photo attached. More and more people are sending MS-WORD documents describing their family's activities with a photo embedded. I've always liked these. It's a good way to keep people up-to-date, it's free, and still very personal.
