What a crock of she-it!

[Jemsee]

I hate this stuff.
Look what I found in my mail today.



The technology to track forwarded emails does not exist. Don't always believe everything you read. But, making a direct donation to the Make a Wish Foundation is not a bad idea. Happy Holidays. Cathy

Has there ever been a chain letter that was real?
Have any of you ever gotten this crap?
I guesstamate over 600 responses. :rolleyes:
Has anyone sent one on?

And why do you read chain email??

[DarkDragon]

I think I saw that exact letter on urbanlegends.about.com; it is a hoax.

Whenever I see any e-mail containing over a small handful of names in the To: field,I send it straight to the trash.

[gdorf]

... I have a feeling like 600 emails are about to be flooded with spam. There are programs that search the net for emails to spam, and well... they just hit the jackpot. :shrug:

[Jemsee]

You think I should delete the e addresses out of the post?

[gdorf]

Well, I dunno. The post would kinda lose its affect if you did. But that is alooot of people's emails posted. It really comes down to your call. :shrug:

I'm going to spam all their emails with nekkid pictures of myself and say I need a testicle transplant, plz forward.

[MottZilla]

LoL. I think most email services should allow you to set a filter on how many people a email is sent to to block it. Cause if something is sent to like, 10 people, it's not important. ;p

[inori]

I've sent e-mails to my entire class before (remember, I'm the TA)... those were slightly important.

[Ganonator]

lol @ breaker.. anyway

Its all a big fat lie. and people get mad when their internet slows down.. hmm.. QUIT SENDING F*CKING SPAM!! seriously.

[goKi]

hmm... i hate spam email so much... i delete anything with fw or fwd in the subject.

i dont see how it is possible for the make a wish foundation to track how many times the message has been forwarded, damn people are so stupid.

[GuitarmanTim]

I thought you already had 3 nutz Forrest?

soo...the family that beat her repeatedly and caused a brain tumor is trying to raise money to save her life...

they really should put more thought into their hoax stories. that's just sloppy.

I just find it easier not to check my e-mail. I checked my ZC e-mail for the first time in like 6 months last week and it had been filled to capacity for like 4 months.

God I hate chain letters. I remember a chain letter someone I know made as a joke, to "Save the dying narcotic midget. With cancer!"
