 Posted: 04/26/05 - 13:06 Post subject: "it's quick and for a kid's school project!"
 can we stop sending and resending the bogus kid's science fair project 'put a star by your name' email forward now? has anyone stopped to think about how this alleged project might be (not) working since we've all gotten this email for the last 5 or so years at least? I've gotten it 4 times in the last week again, so apparently its resurfacing. 
after we master that, someone please explain to my sister that no matter how many people she forwards whatever drivel to, NOTHING, no Outback coupons, no gift certificates or hilarious jokes will pop up on her screen, no matter how funny the email says it will be. She can't quite do the math that the person who wrote "its hysterical, I just did it" had to have written it before they sent it on to fifteen people, before this "thing" allegedly happened...

Let's all say it together, shall we?
It's safe to delete. It's doesn't mean you don't:
love Jesus.
like me anymore.
care about the dying kid in Kentucky.
want to become a member of the red and purple club.
really want that money from Nigeria.
have good luck.
want your wish to come true.
heed my advice about a computer virus.
think pop rocks and pepsi killed Mikey.

Why does someone who in the office who just spammed me not stop and look in the addy block to realize that the person who spammed her with it yesterday ALSO spammed me, too??
And why oh why does my MIL feel the need to send the same spam joke to all 5 of my email addys? If it's funny once, will it be funnier 4 more times???

I used to do that too. People seemed to get upset when I pointed out that whatever was a hoax.

People have learned over time to not bother me with spam chain letters. Everyone I know has found that I am either too skeptical, pessimistic, or outright lacking in any type of compassion or concern or care for the general welfare of humanity to pass along your dumb ass chain letters.
