Do you Forward Chain Emails?

Do you forward chain emails? The type of email with something funny, or warn you or something, or say luck if you forward to the next n number of people?


If you said yes, please slap your self. I really hope you die a slow and agonizing death.


Reasons why it's a horrible idea to continue chain emails.

1. Where spammers get email addresses. When you CC forward a chain mail to everyone on your address book, the next person also does, etc, etc... then before you know it, most of the email is filled with other people's emails. This is a great place to get valid email addresses to send spam to.
2. Hoaxes: Just look at snopes.com majority of these email send false impressions or something. Specially those that say using certain products will kill you, or someone or something will donate money everytime you forward. (That's not possible to even track and that shit never happens).
3. They won't bring you luck because you forward them to 50 people in the next minute. Nor will it kill you.
4. Fill up Inboxes: Most of it's junk and worthless crap.

Seriously, if you find something useful first make sure it's true, and then send it to the people who you know will find it useful. If you find something funny, again, send it the people you are 100% sure will find it relavant and funny.

And when you do, only send the content of the email (not forward portion with hundreds of other email addresses).And PLEASE write something personal to them, not just blindly forward.



Note: When ever I recieve a chain letter from a idiot, I take all the email addresses of the people who forwarded the chain, and write a email back saying why they are idiots for continuing a chain, and then sign them all up for several gay porn newsletters.
