As far as I know the purpose of many chain letters are to build archives of e-mail adresses, social networking contacts, etc. So if someone sends you one of these, be sure to give them a good spanking

Mmmm, spankings....


But yeah, they are bothersome and ugly business. And I hate when people forward them as a substitue for any other kind of social contact through mail. There are people that the only thing they do is forwarding crap.

Also, about the topic of "goodwill chains"... that gets on my nerves... specially when people feel they have been helpfull forwarding... yes, they were helpful... to spammers

And when people forward terrible news/rumors/slander/whatever about something/someone and it is clearly fake/stupid/already known/wonderful? And you tell them so? and they get angry? For example, I think I have tried to show the falseness of bonsai kittens more than I care to remember...

[goofy voice]Not sure, Titan. I mean, if I was in the middle of anything important, right? and was waiting for some pretty important results, and I sent that email to 5 people: Would I still get my results or would all the work have been wasted? Gee, I'm really not sure about this.[/goofy voice]
