Chain e-mails!!

Why in heavens name do friends send this crap to you? Most of the time they threaten bad luck unless you send it on to '10 people', some even warn of violence or death if you do not comply! Some people are more naive or superstitious than others and would seriously be worried about what these emails say. The people who start these emails are nothing but unintellectual nasty idiots. But, the people who forward them (especially to friends) can not be classed as being any better.
The same goes for people sending their get rich quick emails, these befall again on the naive, why the hell can't they be stopped from doing it? At the end of the day, if you receive such junk and simply hit the delete button, then surely it would put a stop to such rubbish?

Another problem caused by such emails is the damage it can do to your computer. Most of the time these emails have been forwarded to countless people, thus introducing a number of problems such as hazardous spam and countless infections to your computer. Not to mention the fact that your email address is on these emails being sent to god knows who! So, as before do not send them on and you can protect your s and your friends computers as well as keeping your personal email address just that, personal.
