From the looks of local e-mail inboxes in recent weeks, there’s been a surge of long-lost family members, schoolmates, neighbors, partners, colleagues and even “worshippers” sending an online greeting card.

But apparently none of us are really suddenly popular.

I told my friends not to send e-cards on my birthday this month because I wasn't planning on opening any.

My birthday is today and for the last several weeks I've told everyone I know not to send me an e card because I won't be opening them either. I bet the e card companies really love this.
