Should have but didn't

This friend of mine sent me a forward, some good stuff about a kids dream and achieving it... moral of the story the only person who stops you from achieving your dreams is you...
Now this friend always sends good forwards.... as in he is not one of the... i got it i forward it type person... he is more of a i was reading it and liked it and i thought of sharing it kind of a person... and he does not forward to all people in mailing list in bcc..... i think he forwards what he thinks will make sense to the receiver... and i think that is why his success rate with forwards (that is forwards he sends and i like) is 100% ... well was 100% this one forwards he sent today i didnt like it that much... i didnt like not liking it... i really wanted to like it... may be the mood or sth....

And it got me thinking; just by being more selective with his "recipient" list he has made this "reputation" where i know a forward from him is worth reading and not just skimming through!! How just a small thought goes a long way... in everything.....
although I wish I had liked this last forward also... i liked the 100% hit rate!!! think i can put it in an exception list and keep the hit rate at 100% :-)

Put a filter... if subject starts with FWD then in folder... and when no one mails you... you know where to find all the fwds :D
But i love fwds these days...

so very true..makes sense if people fwd only the good ones..

but this wld again be relative..the fella reading and fwding it might have liked it at that moment.. and may have "not so liked it" at any other given time.. maybe in a situation where u read it..!

The world is conspiring for me to keep that 100% rate!
