Dana, I had a similar problem with a cousin's husband. I took his email address and promptly began signing him up for various lefty liberal websites and random spam. I got fewer email forwards after that.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He's not my acquaintance, so I can't really say anything
I think if he's forwarding you stuff he's elevated himself to the position of technical acquaintance, at least to the point where you should be able to ask to get off his forward list. Or maybe your husband can wangle a way?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
He's forwarding stuff to our joint e-mail account, which I'm usually the one who checks.
I am tempted by the lefty spam, but he's also old, and I would feel guilty, I guess.

Parents are gone, carpets are deep cleaned, guest laundry is in the dryer. I need a shower, dinner, make my lunch and to have a come undone with booze.

After another round of chills, I am back to having a fever. Blargh.

Here's where we differ. If he feels free to spew conservative propaganda at various and sundry people, I say he's big enough to start getting updates from Greenpeace, GLAAD, and so forth.

I smushed my blackberries on the way back from the farmers' market and am now forced (forced!) to make a blackberry-nectarine crisp.

I am exhausted, I would really like this to be all over now.
