Just thirding the resentment about chain email from friends.
Ugh. Tiffney has discovered my email. I now get chain-prayers. I absolutely resent chain letters, especially chain hugs full of puppies and teddy bears, even prayers - I won't read them.... even when failing to send it on to ten friends will cause the death of puppies, I hate them.
just a rant I have.
Heh...just one more benefit to working in an office with lots of guys...
I hate those, too! Or the "If you're a true friend, send this to ten people and the person who sent it to you". Um...if I'm really they're friend, they won't worry if I don't send it back. As a matter of fact, if they're a real friend, they'll stop bugging me if I ask. I like personal e-mails, but I don't like meaningless forwarded garbage!
Morning Hair - I'll join in that rant, we've got a dear friend that considers forwarding emails, just as you have described, as 'writing us an email'. They can sure fill up a mailbox.
There was a chain-letter on my car this morning. I think. It was in Spanish but I'm pretty sure that's what it was.
Chain-emailers should be punished with revocation of internet privileges. Don't they know spammers love chain letters? It's a mine of valid email addresses.
...fourthing...
...and getting it from people who you see regularly...so you delete some bit about "footprints" or "forward the text of John 3 to Congress" or some variation on "faggots and witches are about to take over your child's school" (when you're single and childless and your friends know it), and next Thursday you run into them at the groshry and they ask "did you get my e-mail?" and you have to try to remember what the blue blazes it was about this time...
Oh, and I thought "Footprints" was really cool the first 150 times I saw it...the 151st time, I thought it had run its course. That was 1981. I was wrong :(
