It has been more than a year now that three specific photos of me were obligated to be included in every email sent or replied to from the email address DaveS113065@gmail.com
The photos are part of a "signature" that is automatically added to each email message that is sent or that is replied to. All three photos of course show me completely naked.
When composing an email, the "signature", including the photos remains hidden, and it is easy to forget that they are included automatically and that they will be sent along with any composed message. (Except, for some reason, when the recipient has a Yahoo email address. Yahoo rejects emails that include photos as part of a signature.)
The obligation for the signature photos extends to each and every email sent from DaveS113065@gmail.com and there are to be no exceptions for any reason.
Some who are aware of this or know this fact will periodically test it by sending an email where a reply of some kind in necessary or expected. Sometimes it's from a recognized email address and sometimes it's one that's totally unfamiliar to me. But I assume that the point is to make sure that the three signature photos are always included. Because of this fact, I know that removing the signature so that it's not automatically added is not an option. Very often I never know if an email I receive from an unfamiliar address is a test of some sort, or if it's just someone new contacting me.
More than once, with the last time being very recent, I composed an reply to an email and sent it while completely forgetting about the signature photos being included. In the most recent case, I only realized the photos had been sent to the recipient when they replied back again and I was able to see that the three photos had been part of my first reply to them.
I'm often too focused on how I will reply to whatever the message said, and on composing the reply, and because I don't see the signature photos, I just don't think about them when I'm done composing the reply and then send it.
There is usually a moment of being stunned for me as I realize that the photos of me naked have been sent to someone who may never have seen me naked or even thought about or expected to see me naked. But once the photos are received there's no way they can fail to see me naked. They also then have their own personal copies of the three photos to do with as they please.
So far no one too close to me has received the three photos, but more than a few others have received them, as well as one business that I was sending a reply to on gmail.
Since the photos were just recently sent to someone who really was just contacting me and not testing anything, and since they were sent without me realizing it until afterward, I'm sure I will be very aware for a while that the signature photos will be included in anything being sent. But as time passes I will most likely end up forgetting again.
I suppose it doesn't matter one way or another though, since the photos do have to be sent whether I'm aware of it at the time or not. Fortunately for me, not too many emails I receive call for a reply, and those closest to me tend not to send emails when they can call me or speak to me in person instead. I realize that could change at any time though.
Anyone who might care to try it for themselves is welcome to send an email to me at daves113065@gmail.com
Replies cannot be sent to Yahoo email addresses, since Yahoo kicks back any email that has images in an email signature.
It looks like this has been going on for a while. By now those pics should have been sent to a lot of people. I would expect that not a single email has been sent out without those pics for this entire time. And that there is no chance of that happening in the future.
ReplyDeleteEvery email from you should always present you in the proper way by including those pics.
One improvement that should really be made is for every email to also include your list of contacts, so that everyone is free to forward the email and pics to them if they want to.
At the very least that contact list should be readily available for anyone to see.
If you mean having to include the three photos in emails, then that's been true for almost two years now. It's set up on my gmail for the three photos to be automatically placed in any draft or reply that's created and sent.
DeleteI only see three dots at the bottom of the open draft and I'll only see the photos if the three dots are clicked on. I just never bother clicking the three dots, so I actually never see the photos in the message. I just type and finish the message and send it without ever looking at what is below those three dots.
Doing that lets me believe that the photos might not be there, even though I really do know they are there.
I can't change the commitment to having to send the photos every time, but it's easier for me if I don't see the actual photos that are being sent. So many emails sent are to people I don't know who send me messages that need a reply.
I never know if it's just spam or someone checking to make sure the photos are always in the emails, so I have to reply.
As those replies are being sent it feels humiliating to know that the photos may be being sent to a recipient who never expected to see them there, and who will now have seen me naked and really exposed.
They will also always have those photos of me naked to do as they please with.
I usually tell myself that it's only someone testing me and that they have probably already seen a lot of me naked. But I know that not all of those have been tests and that people have received the photos unexpectedly. I just never know which is which, so everyone has to get the photos every time.
Only a couple people who know me personally have had to receive the photos, and so far none of them have said a word about it to me. I almost, almost wish they would say something, but that's always up to them.
Maybe a dozen or more businesses have received the photos, but only ones that send emails that need replies. I really dread those ones because I know for sure that people who have never seen me naked, or even imagined ever seeing me naked, are going to see me presented naked. I always know how it can never be undone once they see me naked, and a lot of times I know it's a business where I will be walking into in person soon or multiple times, and I will know that some or all of the people there may have seen the photos of me naked.
But in the end I know that the point of the commitment is more than just having photos of me naked sent in every email. I know the point is also the repercussions and the after effects of people seeing and having those photos. And the point of those is so that I experience those repercussions and after effects.
As for my contact list, I understand that everyone would have the right to send or share the photos in their received email to anyone on my contact list if they felt like it.
I have nothing to dispute that with, and I would almost definitely share that list with any person who asked for it or wanted it. But making the list public seems unfair to those in that list. In other words I would hesitate to offer the list publicly, only for the privacy of those on the list. I know that as far as it goes for me, I never have the right or the expectation of privacy in almost any way, and in almost every situation.
If someone wants to share things with others in my contact list, I understand that everything possible has to be done to enable that to happen. Just without the list being public.
I disagree with your contact list not being public. Just the first names and the email addresses and their relationship to you would be all there would be to it. Since you say you know you have no right to privacy there shouldn't be any hiding behind an excuse of privacy for others when that privacy isn't even an issue.
DeleteBut really, shouldn't your entire contact list have already gotten and seen those pics? If you don't think so please say why without using embarrassment as an excuse?
I sent an email to your address that said hi but I still haven't gotten a reply. I told some friends that I would send it and share your reply with them so they could see it. Why didn't you send a reply?
ReplyDeleteI usually only reply to emails that ask questions or to ones that need something to be said in a reply. I may have let a one word email slip through without a reply. Especially at a time when there was already a few other emails that required a reply.
DeleteI don't see an email that said hi that I didn't reply to, but I'm sorry if you were expecting a reply that you didn't get.
I will make a point of just replying to every email sent to me, even if they don't seem to require a reply.
Please just send one more email, and I swear that it will be replied to.
Is it limited to just email and not including text messages? It only seems right, fitting, proper, and fair to everyone if the pictures are sent in all correspondence. If there are to be no exceptions for any reason, then should there ever be any exception for any method of communication?
ReplyDeleteIt's only required without exceptions of any kind that the three photos are always part of every single email or reply sent by me. That includes emails to friends, relatives, people who I don't know but who email me for any reason, to businesses, and unfortunately for me, to customers or clients in my own line of work.
DeleteI am an independent painter (buildings and structures), and most contact with customers and clients is done by phone or text messaging. But if a reply to an email from a client or a customer is necessary, the three photos do have to be included just as they have to be included in any other email or reply sent by me. There is just no exceptions for any reason even if I really, really want there to be an exception, or even if it ends up totally or publicly humiliating me.
That requirement doesn't include (or even exclude) text messages, so that's still kind of a grey area.
I can see how not having a requirement for the photos to be included in text messages could seem like a double standard, or a sort of loophole for the requirement. But since most texts I send or reply to are to customers and clients for my business, it would seem to be best for there be an exception for including the photos in texts at least to clients and customers, even if all other texts did have to include the three photos. Such as texts to friends, relatives, and to other businesses.
I also receive quite a lot of texts from unknown people who appear to think they are texting someone else, and they usually ask a specific question or give a status update of some sort. Saying things like "What time is everyone meeting up tonight?"
I never know if it's some intentional attempt to get a reply for some other reason, or if it's a legitimate mistake, since when I reply to say it's a mistake, it turns out to be about an equal chance of either one.
I mention that because it probably can only be fair and right if the three photos do get included in text messages, even if just to avoid a double standard or to close a loophole. Even replies to texts like the one mentioned. I would hope to keep an exception to this for texts to clients or customers, even though there would be no exception if those clients or customers email me and a reply is required. In that case the photos still do have to be included.
An exception in that case might be understandable, but should come with something to compensate for it. Perhaps that should be an additional picture or two being added to all emails and all other texts. At least one picture of you with your legs spread wide as an indication of an open invitation for everyone to see all there is to see. Perhaps one more picture of you hard or semi hard. In both pictures your face should be easily visible so everyone can know for sure it's you they are seeing, and in both pictures you should be completely naked of course.
DeleteThat may be sufficient compensation for there being an exception to the pictures being in all sent texts, as long as the entire series of photos was definitely always in every email you send out.
If more photos of me naked in every email I send are fair compensation for an exception to having to include the photos in text messages to clients and customers, then I see that as acceptable.
DeleteIt's worth it to avoid any possible results from clients receiving the photos. Even if those clients would still have to receive the photos if they send me an email that needs a reply, that would occur much less often than it would occur with text messages.
Also, anyone who does receive an email from me is going to see me fully exposed anyway, whether it's three photos they see of me or more than three.
Two additional photos will now be automatically included in each email and reply sent by me, making it five photos instead of three. The additional photos will show my face and enable me to be identified as the subject. All five photos will also be included in all texts sent or replied to, except for text messages to clients and customers. The additional photos are worth having that exception.
