Quick one today:
How many times have you gotten a chain email that starts: "I usually don't forward these, but this one is special" or "I don't believe in these, but I wanted to make sure..." Listen. If you are going to send me the fairy godmother email with the pukey little cats with wings at the bottom, and the one with the "scroll down and count down while you do this prayer" and the "the phone will ring in 10 minutes I swear" crappy ass emails, at least have the cojones to say: I have no other reason to send this to you other than the fact that if I got it, you will suffer with me. At least, I can appreciate your honesty. Oh, and by the way, if the ONLY time you are going to email me is to send me these messages, don't be surprised if you are tagged as SPAM and never hear from me again. I just deleted you from my contacts.

Here, here! If people think I'd rather get their chain letter crap and all the lame excuses for sending it instead of an honestly hand-typed note,, they are sadly mistaken. And just because I have been carrying on a conversation with someone online sure as heck doesn't mean I want them to start sending this junk. I've stopped emailing so many people because they always revert to sending this dumb viral junk, and much of it is sickly and unbelievably cute or really patronizing and phony friendship/religious/inspirational kruft. http://cbcf.boardhost.com
I don't even care if the note is typed, as long as it is a note to ME... the only people that can get away with this crap is my mom and dad... my mom, because, well, she's my mom and she can do whatever she wants (plus I talk to her all the time) and my dad, because he only forwards pretty funny stuff.
