I have at least three beefs about emails people send me:
First, can people not clean these things up, before they send them?
For the love of pete, people, take off all the 1,000 old email addresses on it before you send it.
Sheesh.
All of you look really stupid, having your email addresses on these things promising "good things, if only you'll forward this email to 7 of your best friends, right away..."
Second, as for those addresses, has no one heard of, seen or used the "bcc" function for forwarding emails?
For the unaware, it means "blind copy". That way, you don't end up sending all those stupid email addresses for all your friends and family on to the other 10,000 people who are going to get that email.
Finally, really, if it's a stupid email--size it up, think about it--don't blindly send it on.
Don't forward insipid emails.
And if it is remotely superstitious--don't send it.
Don't.
Just don't.

I agree... I get one of these about once a week... "send this on to twelve people or your face will fall off." I think the senders should have to take a class on rational thought.
