lots of folks mean well when they do this, but often, more than the intended article gets delivered...

"Share A URL?

Read the fine print of a Web site's privacy policy and marvel at how little it actually promises. "We will never reveal your private details with any third parties, except our affiliates, business partners, and anybody else who buys them from us." Now remember that whenever you feel like sharing online content, such as news articles, with your friends by email. Never type your friend's email address into any fields labeled "Send To A Friend!" because the site may sell your friend's address to spammers. Instead, select and copy the article's URL (uniform resource locator) and paste it into an email message to your friend."
