Can't decide is this is an official GDocs sharing request or if there's some sort of spoofing of this email address going on. The sender is known to me personally, so I don't think she'd actively try and steal information from me. Plus, she's like 65 and wouldn't know how to do this anyway.

Give her a call and ask if she sent it.

I might. I can't imagine why a Google Doc would have come from a Yahoo account, though. Yes, the email was sent through a Yahoo account.

Doesn't actually matter to you if the bogus E-mail actually came from her account or not. Checking the URL of "View your document" would likely show the real purpose of the E-mail, to drive traffic to some site for phishing purposes or otherwise.

Called her. She didn't sent it.

Hmm well you can send emails, from your gmail, from other accounts.  I have never used that in my Drive though, and am not sure you even can do that.  I would send her a note, and ask her hey did you ...

I do that with all hinky things, but hey I have "trust issues".   giggles

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
