From: a - friend ?
Subject: Hug War.

-Oh, brother!

HUG WAR!!

-Like sheesh!

--Again, assuming friendship is measured by how many people forward around some stupid sap they didn't even write! Good grief! Come on, give me a break, I'm not that insecure or intellectually inept! Stop sending me this trash! It's not just annoying, it's insulting to boot!

-Darn right it's a test...a test of my threshhold of patience, frustration, tolerance.

-First of all, it's not a 'page' doofus! It's an email! And see? It's no different from any other chain letter, always the same demand to send it on to x number of people or as many as possible.

-And what the heck is with all these stupid chains telling you to send them back to the one that was duped into forwarding it to me? if everybody did that the net would be so clogged up that servers would go down and nothing would work. We'd all be getting the same stupid quoted and requoted messages again and again, more than is already happening!

-I'm going to delete several rows that contain the word "Hug" like in the line above over and over again. It's such a waste of bandwidth as well as cruel and unusual punishment to read.

-I've had blood tests, injuries, and surgeries that were less painful than this so-called hug.

-Bullcrap. It's just another mutation of the chain letter that manages to get past otherwise smart people under the pretence of a friendship/love/whatever warm fuzzy...

So hug everyone you know!!!

-I will, but not by this phony method! I give real hugs, and as real a cyber hug as I can. I write my own cyber hugs and they come without any stupid strings like "PASS IT ON!" attached! I'd never dream of cheapening something as real as love with a note to pass it on, or insult people's intelligence with that either. I care too much about my friends to send them fake hugs in a form letter!

-More like make new enemies, turn your friends into enemies, and make acquaintances run and hide!

With all the other forwards out there, I thought this would be a good one to start.

-Well, a chain letter originator's got to have an angle to be all the more able to sucker everybody along.

-The question is did the originator of this fake love chain actually come up with the above, or steal it from something someone else wrote or said? And, uh, most of us know what a hug is and what it means, duh! Do we really need some chain letter written by some no-life reject who just wants to get us passing their junk along and who really doesn't know me or you from a hole in the ground and visa versa, to know more about love and hugs than those of us who actually care enough about our friends to write our own emails? HEL-LO! Something's terribly wrong with this picture!

-And there *you* go, out of my inbox and into the deleted folder!

-There's always another person this smarm can fool into believing it's real friendship. But when you've seen these things passed around on the net and into your inbox as often as I have, you know better. And it sure as heck didn't brighten my day. Whoever believes it can has not received too many copies of it from well-meaning friends who got their hearts yanked into a false sense of euphoria when they read it for the first time.

I mean, we all need a hug once in a while.

-Yeah, a real hug, given or written by the friend who's doing the hugging, not some piece of spam that has the word 'hug' written into it so that it reads like a broken record!

So send this on if you'd like, to anyone who may need a hug, send it back to whoever sent it to you, send it back to me!!

-Goodness knows, this fwd is redundant! Can we say 'point taken' and 'overkill'! Argh! Clue to the originator of this chain letter, get a bigger vocabulary!

-No, please don't. This chain letter hug stuff has been passed around far too much already. An email written by you with even a "Here's a hug from me, I've been thinking about you, how are you doing?" typed by your own fingers beats this drippy chain letter by a hundred miles!

-Show someone you really care, by not sending it on to them! Send them your own words instead!
