May 18, 2008 - I delete all the video chain jokes too...there's a lot of Power Point stuff as well. I just delete them all. I just don't like them. And I don't "RE" my mails - even less my junk mail to others. You made a good vid there. Thanks!

May 19, 2008 - You guys are too right, the other day I got A chain letter, I don't want a chain letter even in email form, it's just not cool. As for attachments on emails, if possible don't attach stuff any bigger than a megabyte, it's just common sense.Another thing I could add is if you must send an attachment, zip it before you attach it, it compresses the file and it only takes two or three clicks.

May 23, 2008 - i also have noticed that people also forward things like u have to forward this on or else or they send things like if u dont respond to this you may have ur account deleted or whatnot.one big forward still going around is the one that yahoo is shutting down ur account if u dont reply to the message and that u would have to pay $10 a month to use the account which i later found out its not true

May 23, 2008 - I just skip through them and delete. I don't forward them cause it's a bunch of crap and a waste of everyone's time involved.

DrNeutron Says:
Jun 20, 2008 - Wow. Who cares what you say. Just b/c you have the right to speak does not mean you should.
polarsequence Says:
Jun 28, 2008 - I find it incredible, the amount of ignorant people out there who are dumb enough to believe and forward dozens of stupid chain letters and hoaxes without any kind of clarification to their authenticity. The world is truly full of morons who are either totally asleep or extremely stupid, to which unfortunately there is absolutely no cure!

May 17, 2008 - No matter if I get a forwarding chain emails, I never forward them to others. If you do not know where the original location of where that chain email came from, then you must automatically think it came from a untrusted source. This is a sure way to get spam and get others to get spam as well. Would you open your front door to a stranger? What is the difference with emails?
