Prayer wheels, friendship balls, hug wars, all of it is still chain mail when everything's said and done - and so-called inspirational or religions chain letters cn be every bit as offensive as the good luck forwards.

Here are a few sites on these types of chain letters.

> Read only if you have time for God

-Oh, PLEASE! As if some dumb chain letter determines if you have time for God! ARGH! How can people believe this bull!?

-Try reading the Bible instead! Try reading and writing personal notes and not this extremely offensive pseudo-religious chain mail! Don't you know by now that the goal of all chain letters is to sucker you into passing it all over the internet, cramming it up with copies of itself!? Wake up! You're not showing you have time for God by passing on chain mail!!!

> Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to
> the bottom. I almost
> deleted this email but I was blessed when I got to
> the end.

-*suppressing strong urge to throw something* What kind of moron actually believes this crap? Apparently enough for it to circulate, and somebody who has me in their address book/contact/friend list has just proven themself to be one of them! How mortifying! Look people, a chain letter can't bless anybody! But let me tell you, it can annoy the heck out of recipiants like me, who are smart enough to know better, and embarrassed by the people who send us this junk!

> God, when I received this e-mail, I thought...

-No, you didn't. You forwarded!

> I don't have time for this... And, this is really
> inappropriate during work.

-Well, if that's true, you should've followed that thought and not forwarded this insulting, ludicrous piece of junk! Especially if you were on the job - don't you know people have gotten fired for using their work computers to send out chain letter spam!?

> Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is...
> Exactly, what has caused
> lot of the problems in our world today.

-Then you are a fool! Try actually using the brain God gave you instead of letting yourself be manipulated by a piece of canned religion! If you are the chain originator, God warns about thinking so highly of yourself, so, if you're wowed by your own writing, don't be. It's not great anyway. As for problems of the world - violence, greed, bigotry, those are causes of a lot of problems today, and, pal, where the internet is concerned, a lot of problems are caused in cyberspace by passing on chain letters! For some reason incomprehensible to me, so many people would rather send these stinking fwds than their own personally written notes! They think it's communication, but it is not!

-So, don't try that line about problems in the world. You're only saying that to get the stupid thing circulating and multiplying itself all over cyberspace! Won't work with me!

> We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning...

-Wrong, we don't try...He is there! God is everywhere, so stop whining!

> Maybe, Sunday night...

-Like I said before, he's there, and yes, you will find him not in chain letters that were created by liars who love to dupe Christians into passing them along! Sheesh, put the word 'God' into a spam, and people take it as gospel!

> And, the unlikely event of a midweek service.

-Ever heard of Bible study!? And nowhere in the Bible does it specify you must have services every day or twice a week. And definitely nowhere in the Bible does it tell you to pass on chain letters to show you love God!

> We do like to have Him around during sickness...

-Well, duh! We also like to have our families and medical people around during sickness, so what? Now we're not supposed to want God around during sickness? Well, when chain letters get this stupid, you know...

> And, of course, at funerals.

-That's if you believe in God - there are other belief systems and societies that have their own way of last respects. But that has nothing to do with the fact that this chain letter is obnoxious, useless, exploitive, a misuse, abuse, and mockery of Christianity, and extremely annoying!

> However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during
> work or play...

-Whine, whine, whine, snivel, snivel, snivel, preach, preach, preach, blahblahblahblahblahblahblah and on and on. Well, maybe as a chain letter originator or forwarder you don't, you're too busy passing around dumb junk, but some of us do take the time for God during work and during play, and not by passing on chain letters!

> Because.. That's the part of our lives we think...
> We can, and should,
> handle on our own.

-Ever heard the saying "God helps those who help themselves."? God gave us the wherewithall to do that and make time for him, and ask his help, which we do without some stupid chain letter preaching at us to do it and then pass it on if we have time for God! Give me a pickin break! I'm not stupid!

> May God forgive me for ever thinking...

-May God forgive you , even if I can't at this moment, for 1. not thinking for yourself and blindly passing on this infernal chain letter! Or 2. Originating it in the first place! God does not work through the same tools that liars, scammers and hoaxters use!

> That... there is a time or place where..

-That's not even a sentense!

> HE is not to be FIRST in my life.

-First get your head on straight and stop putting chain mail first in your life! So you want to put God first in your life. Prove it and act like it, starting with laying off the canned religious forwards! Go to church, read the Bible, pray privately, pray publically in church, talk to people in person about God, send personally written emails, including a "God bless" written by your own computer keyboard! But don't think you can be a better person or enrich someone else's life by passing on chain letters!

> We should always have time to remember all HE has
> done for us.

-And that's for us to do on our own time, in our own way, and not because some spam disguised as religion from somebody we don't know from a hole in the ground tells us to!

> If, You aren't ashamed to do this...

-Do you have any idea how utterly offensive and asinine this is!? You are coercing Christians, as dupes, into passing on a lame piece of crap chain letter that's managed to pass itself off as religious advice, the same way the Jessica Mydek hoax duped so many people into passing it along, in the belief that it was written by a real person with real concerns! What the heck kind of friend tells another friend he or she will be judged as shameful by God because they didn't pass on some dumb junk!?

-If you are not ashamed of making a total fool of yourself, you will pass on chain mail. If you have respect for yourself, your friends and their intelligence, you would be ashamed to pass this fraudulent piece of religious spam and any other piece of chain mail along! You would know better, and you would think too highly of your friends to do something so utterly gauche!

-I am so sick of chain letters targetting Christians and women as emotional basket cases that need to be preached at and manipulated into passing along this dreck! I'm equally sick of all the Christians and women that fall for it and pass it along, proving what the hoaxters believe when they start these things - that they are easily manipulated and can be fooled into anything as long as 'God' or something about 'women' is mentioned somewhere in the chain! People, the only thing a chain letter can determine about you if you pass it along is that you're very young, or very inexperienced on the net and with life in general, or if you've been around a long time, you haven't learned anything and are an idiot because you'll believe anything that's got 'fwd' and 'pass it on' plastered throughout it!

> Please follow the directions.

-Which I will change or make comments on. Because this is the crux, the end goal of this thing, even if it's been wrapped up in pretty little righteous religious colors..."Pass it on! Send it on! Forward to all in your address book! Sent it back to me so I know you sent it on to everybody!" That instruction is exactly how spammers get your email addresses, people!

> Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be
> ashamed of you before my
> Father."

-Which he never meant to be twisted into use for passing on one of the most ludicrous pieces of emotional manipulative chain letters designed to target impulsive Christians! In case you haven't gotten it yet, people have been saying they are Christian by their actions, their own words, and by prayer since the faith began, not by passing on chain letters! So don't even try this abusive, coercive tactic with me or anyone else!

> Pass this on ONLY IF YOU MEAN IT!!

-No, don't! If you are a Christian and you really take your Christianity seriously, be outraged that your religion is being pirated by chain letter originators! Be insulted and embarrassed at your friends for their foolishness in passing it on to you! Be outraged that they have let themselves be taken in by a chain letter that's no more valid and every bit as crooked as any hoax, especially since it dresses itself up in a religious disguise!

> HE is my source of existence and Savior.

-Mine as well, but I know better than to originate or pass on junk, and would never use deceit in the form of pseudo-religion just to get people forwarding on copies and copies and copies of itself! Guilting or shaming people into passing on chain letters is absolutely low down, it's dirty, unethical, slimy, coercive, manipulative, and extremely hypocritical in the case of religious chains!

> He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without
> Him, I will be nothing.
> But, with Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)

-Then show that amazing strength and stop passing on chain letters!

> If You Love God... And, are not ashamed of all the
> marvelous things HE has
> done for you...

-Acknowledge it, and not by spamming the net with this stupid pseudo-religion chain that you didn't even write! Or if you did write it, get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness for trying to dupe and manipulate Christians by way of the shame game and guilt-tripping them into passing it along!

> I don't think I know 10 people who would admit they
> love Jesus. Do You love
> Him?

-Do you live in an atheist country!? Look, liar, Christianity is still thriving as one of the majority religions in America and Europe. Christians are not going extinct, and you're not going to save them by passing on this crap! Contrary to what this fatuous chain and others exactly like it claim, Jesus is not on the way out, and the way to show love for him is not by spreading around a bunch of nonsense in very badly written chain letters which do nothing but cause anti-religion backlashes because they make a mockery of religion at the expense of emotional and religious people!

> THE POEM

-For crying out loud, does this stupid chain letter not have an end!? It just goes - on, and on, and on - and - on!!

-Okay, I'll try to put this into perspective. Because if the preaching, and guilt-scaring/shaming game doesn't get them forwarding, everybody knows no forwarder can resist a sappy poem, especially filled with more preaching and fake inspiration!

The Prayer of a Religious Hoaxter

> I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to
> do.

-Like passing on chain mail! But hey, at least I prayed, so I could originate/forward this email and at least have that not be a lie! I prayed that everybody on the net would see this chain and pass it on, and that all their friends would send copies back to them, so that isp servers would be so overloaded they would crash, and those who didn't pass on the chain, would believe that God was ashamed of them and that they had no friends!

>I had to hurry and
> get to work For bills would soon be due.

-And had to use my work computer to send on this chain! Because just imagine how many Christian fools would have forwarded it by the time I get out of work and pay my bills today! Ah-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Suckas!!!

>So I knelt
> and said a hurried
> prayer,

-Though I didn't pray for the right things. I prayed for my chain letter to reproduce all over the internet in record numbers, and then I prayed I would not get fired from my job for spamming!

> And jumped up off my knees.

-With glee at the ingeniusness of my idea! Yeah! Tell them god will be ashamed of them for not spamming the net with my chain mail! Stupid Christians, they will eat it up like candy! They will buy anything that has 'God' and 'fwd' in it! Ah-hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! Aren't I the considerate, ingenius one!?

> My soul could rest at ease.

-Knowing I had at least said a prayer so that a person who is unusually smart for a Christian can't get outraged and rightly say I lied a hundred percent during this chain letter!

> All day long I had no time

-For anything really productive, I was too busy sending out chain letters!

> To spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of
> Christ to friends,

-Because I was too busy sending out fake religious/friendship forwards, trying to shame people into thinking they were not good Christians, and that the only way to be good Christians was to pass on junk! I didn't even take the time to personally write my own notes or speak my own words to other people. All I had time for was saving everybody's salvation and killing their iq with chain letters!

> No time, no time, too much to do,

-No thought, no thought, too many friends, acquaintances, and strangers to spam.

> No time to give to souls in need

-No time for even recognizing souls in need. Too busy sending out forwards! No time to send my own words, no time to waste worrying that I was acting like an obnoxious spammer and upsetting people who refused to fall for my religious ploy.

> But at last the time, the time to die.

-Because I'm so depressed that not enough people have forwarded this chain letter! And if my telling them that God is ashamed of them won't get them forwarding, I can always fall back on the theme of mortality! Yeah! Nothing like making readers think about their own deaths to get them forwarding like no tomorrow!!! I'm not really dying, I'm just saying that because it's a sure fire way of GETTING YOUR ATTENTION SO YOU WILL PASS THIS ON!!!

-I'm also in debt up to my shoulders because I forgot to pay my bills over the last three months since I got on the chain letter kick, and I'm too afraid of going to jail, so, thinking of ending it all after my quickie prayer, my day's work, and last ditch effort at writing something smarmy enough to get 'em forwarding like crazy!

> I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with
> downcast eyes. For in his hands
> God held a book; It was the book of life.

-Much to my surprise, my chain letter wasn't anywhere in it! Waaaaaaaaahhhhh! Duh - why! What happened!? I thought for sure if I spammed enough email boxes, Myspace bulletins, Facebook walls of all types, and other web forums, that my soul would be saved and my chain letter would make it all the way up to heaven in a bolt of glorious lights!

> God looked into his book and said

-Nothing. This is all fantasy, I haven't died yet. I'm just making this up the best I possibly can, because if I can make you fools all scared crapless of your own judgement for not passing along this chain letter, who is the wiser!? Ah-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

> "Your name I cannot find."

-Nothing like lying about God and putting words into his mouth in order to use this poem to really get the shame game going for the sake of this chain letter! Yeah, boy, am I great! I'll have them all on their knees, overcome by emotion, and then they'll be hitting those forward buttons like mad!

> "I once was going to write it down..."

--More sacreligious misquoting and misrepresentations of God..

> "But never found the time"

-Now God couldn't find the time!? Dude, chick, whatever you are, God invented time! He can find and take all the time he wants, and he certainly won't fail to find the time to remember you if you don't pass on stupid spam! This chain letter is not only unethical, offensive and coercive, and it's disgusting how people actually take it as inspiring, it's also sacreligious and insulting toward God as well! God deals with individuals based on their own lives, THEIR LIVES! He does not sweep people aside for refusing to pass on forwarded crap!

> Now do you have the time to pass it on?

-I have the time, to tear this thing apart in a flaming rant so I won't do something else a little more distructive out of sheer aggravation! I also have the brain, and the consideration not to believe in this stupidity and pass it on to my friends! I have the time to send my own personal notes, and to live my Christian life the best I can, and that does not include spamming people with forwards designed to shame them into passing on chain letters!

> Make sure that you scroll through to the end.

-Scroll, scroll, scroll, that's all I've been doing for the past...Oh, I dunno, couple of hours?

> Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy
> to tell a lie?

-Oh, brother, this corners the market on hypocrisy and ludicrousness! You're asking this as a chain letter originator or forwarder!? You should know the answer to that, chain letters are dishonest and people are stupid!

> Why are we so sleepy in church but Right when the
> sermon is over we suddenly
> wake up?

-Get a grip - maybe that's *your* problem, but it isn't mine. Please, ditch the tired old sleeping in church thang, that cliche doesn't apply to a general 'we'. and one more thing, not everybody parties wildly, late into a Saturday night.

> Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy
> to talk about nasty
> stuff?

-In case you hadn't realized, chain letters are nasty. It's emotional and psychological bullying by way of tug at the heart, religious shaming, the provokation of any strong emotion, strong enough to over-ride the rational inclination to question and not forward. So until you stop trying to shame people into passing on chain letters, don't you dare preach about how people talk about nasty stuff and not good stuff!

> Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine,
> but yet so easy to look
> at a nasty one?

-Again with the fatuous generalizations and sniveling. And I have a 'why is it' for you! Why is it so easy to send on all kinds of forwarded junk and so hard to send your own words? Why is it that people believe everything in a chain letter but get all hot under the collar when someone comes along and debunks it for the pack of lies and emotional trickery and bullying it is?

-Oh, and I don't read nasty mags. They're as crappy as forwards and a lot of times where chain letter stories about famous people come from. Why people read them, I don't know, and I don't care.

> Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e- ma il, but
> yet we forward all of the
> nasty ones?

-Why is it you are so whiny and you can't tell the difference between a real 'Godly' message, that is a personal note from a friend and not viral crud, yet you assume this forward shame chain isn't nasty? Get real!

> Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the
> bars and dance clubs are
> getting larger?

-And you know this, how? What sad little fantasy world, or, planet are you on? You really think this tired old whine is going to sway every Christian into passing along this stupid chain? NOT! In fact, our church is always getting new members, and I don't frequent bars, so, don't keep tabs on their business.

-So...Why are personal emails/bulletins/wall posts etc. dwindling and forwards increasing? Why is it that people think these chains are so important but can't be bothered to write their own notes? Why is it that people never smarten up and learn, even after time and time their chain letters have been debunked and they've been asked to quit forwarding!?

> Do you give up?

-Give up on what? Ever thinking I could help people to break the nasty forwarding habit? I'm starting to think it's useless, people just want to stay stupid, living in a world of delusions fed to them in forwards; too lazy to send their own words, and too in love with their own egos to wake up and realize that sending forwards isn't doing a thing for their reputations or helping anyone else out!

>Think about it . Are you going to
> forward this, or delete
> it?

-If you'd thought about it, you should've deleted it. I'm sick of deleting in silence, because that doesn't stop the forwards. So, I'm putting it up on a site along with these comments as a means of self-therapy because I'm too angry at the doorknob who sent it to say anything nice; and to expose for all to see, how idiotic these chains are, and how utterly brainless it is to perpetuate them!

> Just remember-God is watching you.

-You think about that the next time you try to exploit Christians as a chain letter originator, or you annoy and embarrass people on your contact list as a habitual forwarder! Because everybody you pass this on to, knows you're stupid, unless they're stupid themselves and pass it on further! There is nothing this chain can say to make me pass it along to anyone. It's rude, it's obnoxious, it's arrogant drivel, it's simpering, whiny, and it's cyber-bullying passing itself off as religion. At least I can say I've learned something in my years on the internet, not to fall for this disgusting bullcrap! I wish I could say the same for all of my contacts!

Prayer
> Wheel-Let's see the devil stop
> this one!

-Did you not see the devil start it!? The devil is very good at deception, and he loves making fools of Christians! You have just made the devil have a good belly laugh by spreading this dumb piece of crap all over the place! Pat yourself on the head, you've fallen for the big deception, hook, line, and sinker!

> Here's what the wheel is all about. When you receive
> this, say a prayer for
> the person that sent it to you....

-No, here's what the wheel is really all about, getting mass-produced as much as absolutely possible! Anyway, Pray for God to give the poor fool some common sense, the ability to rationalize, and think about the consequences of forwarding dumb twisted crap! Then pray for God to give you the strength not to kill whatever comes onto your path while you vent and allow yourself to cool off! Gads, but it's stressing when well-meaning but so hopelessly clued out people send this dreck!

> That's all you have to do....

-Liar. You said it so many times, forward the dang thing, pass it on, pass it on! What's it to you if anybody prays, as long as they keep sending on the chain!

> There is nothing attached....

-The file attachment probably got trimmed out. Fine. It would've been another copy of the stupid chain anyway. And the string attached requires people to forward, forward, forward! So stop lying!

> This is so powerful....

-But not powerful enough to get me forwarding like an idiot! Evidently it got someone on my contact list right in the left side of the brain, causing it to malfunction or shut down! It's powerfully offensive! My poor eyes and ears are bleeding, and I've got a headache from hitting the desk out of sheer frustration! The down arrow key is threatening to break!

> Do not stop the wheel, please....

-Yes, DO STOP the wheel, please! And you can call it a ball or a wheel, the same way other spammers yell out "This is not spam!" Doesn't make any difference - it's still spam, and this is still a chain letter!

> Of all the free gifts we may receive,

-This forward is not one of them!

>Prayer is the
> very best one....

-Prayer isn't a gift, prayer is the request for gifts. The gifts come as a result of prayer, and prayer does not rely on viral stupidity to work!

> There are no costs, but wonderful rewards... GOD
> BLESS!

-Don't 'God bless' me after this forwarded cyber-man-handling! If you want to say 'God bless' and really be believed as sincere, send your own words! As for cost, forwards cost friends! I'm embarrassed by people who pass on this junk, and I'm outraged at people who originate it! They don't believe in God, they just know how to control the masses via chain letter, and religious people are SOOOOOOO EASY to manipulate!

> May God keep you and bless you. >

-Yeah right, sure...Don't lie. I don't know you, you don't know me, and I resent my contacts allowing themselves to get suckered in by this obviously phony letter that tries to shame them into passing it along! Leave people to pray in their own time and their own way!

>If this doesn't give
> you chills, nothing
> will...

-In your sad little demented dreams! I'm too smart to be taken in by this crappy forward, and though it didn't give me chills, it's really frosted my internet space! As in leaves me cold, as in cold fury at the originator and at stupid forwarders! BTW, there are plenty of things that do give me chills. But I've stopped believing in the tooth fairy, Santa Clause and his elves, and the Easter Bunny, the Boogy Man, the man in the moon, or that the moon is made of cheese, as well as chain letters a long, long time ago!

>this message is very true.

-NOT!

>Hope you are all
> as blessed as I was from
> this story.

-Blessed? Hardly! viral junk is one of the biggest curses of the internet! Story? What story? All this was, a bunch of disjointed and ridiculous twistings on religion, and then a sappy, badly written poem, with lots of whining about yo religion gettin threatened liberally mixed in, along with the ludicrous shame-gaming and guilt-tripping attempts, all to get people passing it on!

>I wonder how many people will delete
> this without reading it

-Who knows, and who cares? The more it gets deleted, the better! A better question is, is anybody ever going to wise up and quit spreading this stupidity!?

> because of the title on it?

-Uhm, well, it's not like everybody wants to waste a lot of time reading something that's obviously yet another stupid fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: Because they know it's probably just a dumb viral message that's been around the internet a million times, landing in their inboxes, forums, bulletins, walls etc. many times over!

> There once was a man named George Thomas, pastor in
> a small New England
> town. One Easter Sunday morning he came to the
> Church carrying a rusty,
> bent, old bird cage, and set it by the pulpit.

-Oh, right, the old bird cage story. It seems to crop up every Easter. But that still won't get me forwarding like an idiot! I wasn't all that impressed with the story the first time I heard it and don't personally think it's worth the read. I don't need a little kid's story about compassion to a bird in a bird cage to tell me to love Jesus.

> Well, that explained the empty bird cage on the
> pulpit, and then the pastor
> began to tell this story.

> One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation.

-right, Satan as the mean boy bird catcher and we are the birds, and Jesus is the one that freed us. Yeah, I get it...I still won't pass it on!

> Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in
> God" but still follow Satan
> (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).

-Oh, brother! The ever so infamous "Isn't it funny" snivel-rant-n-whine! In the Christian faith, God and Satan are real, and nobody's perfect. Get used to it. Duh, everybody knows the devil believes in God. But that still doesn't mean the way to show you believe in and love God is to forward some sanctimonious, religious spam!

> Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes
> through e-mail and they
> spread like wildfire, but when you start sending
> messages regarding the
> Lord, people think twice about sharing?

-Isn't it absolutely mind-boggling how long this incredibly stupid chain letter whine has continued to circulate!? And in my experience, there are just as many dumb religious chains going around as there are joke chains. viral is viral, and ALL of it is extremely offensive and annoying, and should stop!

-I've gotten this "Isn't it funny" religious chain rant more times than I can count and I wish people would use their heads and stop passing it on! It's a lie! It's a dumb lie! It's an annoying lie! Chain letters trying to beat out their fwd competition, and playing on the "Yo Christianity is being direly threatened by funnies!" to do it is stupid beyond all understanding! SO I'm Christian...I'm not stupid!

> Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this
> message, you will not send it
> to many on your address list because you're not sure
> what they believe, or
> what they will think of you for sending it to them.

-Get a grip! I don't forward viral twaddle, religious or not, and it has nothing to do with being 'afraid' or 'ashamed' of my religion - which, for the record, I'm not, okay! Hear me, all you poor deluded forwarders? I AM NOT ASHAMED OF MY RELIGION! Get it now!?

-I don't send viral stuff, period! Because at best, it's already been sent and reproduced all over the net too much. At worst, it's bunk, originated by controlling bullies and hopeless attention seekers with no lives, and perpetuated by forwarding dupes who think twice about sending a personal note, but don't hesitate to hit that damned forward button!

> Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what
> other people think of me
> than what God thinks of me.

-That's probably why you sent this chain! DUH! And no, it's not funny, you have a really really warped definition of 'funny'. I'm not laughing! I'm very angry that all this person could be bothered to send was a stupid chain, and showing me and everybody else on their contact list what an idiot they are!

--No, people are not going to think of you as a better Christian, or this chain as 'chilling' and 'powerful'. Those of us who recognize viral posting for what it is and that it comes in all kinds of disguises, simply know you were had, because a piece of canned junk as personal as a TV commercial got the better of you!

-I'm going to revise this disgusting attempt at a chain letter prayer to make it say what it should say. Basically they were originally praying for God to bless everybody who spams the net with this incredibly offensive religious and very longwinded chain. Let's improve it and send a very different message.

> I pray, for everyone who sends this NOWHERE, NOT to their entire
> address book, they will
> be blessed by God in a way special for them.

-No kidding, that's how awkward the original reads.

-And for those who do spam their friends, that they soon find out sending chain mail is not going to give them blessings!

> And send it back to the person who sent it, to let
> them know that indeed it
> was sent out to many more.

-No, DON'T! Who wants a zillion copies of the same damn chain!? We try to get rid of email viruses, but when you pass on chains, and if everybody did exactly what the chain said, the internet would crash! Why are we so worried about viruses when forwarders are acting as viruses by reproducing copies and copies of the same stupid chains all over the place!?

Stop it! For the love of all things dear and good, for the love of friendship and sanity, for the love of human welfare, even for the love of God, STOP SENDING forwards!!!
