I mean they are nice and all but after a few hundred it is seems a little ridiculous especially when they send such a personal and heartfelt email to 20 people. when email was new this may have been a cool fad. but isn't this fad over yet? do they really mean it or do they just think it is nice? is it rude not to send the thing back i mean do they really want 20 people sending it back?

I used to get them too. They are a complete waist of your precious time. Rediculous, silly and very impersonal. The decision is yours.

Messages like this are usually used to build up junk email lists. Depending on the type of email you use, if you forward the message to 20 people you can also unknowingly mail that list of 20 people back to the originator of the message. And then when you start getting spam emails, you sit there and wonder how on earth they got your address.

I feel the same way as you. Actually, we don't heed that instruction. But the senders do not really expect a return email anyway. They just forwarded it the way it is, including the ridiculous instruction. That's the truth why people send emails that say read and return if you are really my friend, love God etc.

And I just love the ones that read....." Pleeeeeeeeeeese do not delete or I better get this back ! "
I don't consider it to be rude....what I consider to be rude is
bothering 20 people with such junk. So I just delete....because I certainly don't want those 20 sending it back.......

Don't give in to being a conduit for chain emails. Many of them are scams and have incorrect information and false urban legends. When people repeatedly send me these I write them a polite note saying that while I enjoy hearing from them, that I don't like chain emails and that I won't pass them on. They are all still my friends and I don't get anymore chain emails from them.

I just delete them. Some people actually believe that wishes can come true by forwarding e-mails to at least 5 to 20 people. It sucks.

i kno it just pisses me off!!especially if the message says something like you'll get bad luck for the next five yrs if u dont send it to 30 pple in the next 40 seconds.pple just thinks other pple will be happy if they get such a mail from them cos it shows that they care about them.and anyway,in my experience in any case,it IS really pissing off to get loads of mails with pple sending that mail back to you.Actually pple (me, anyway) dont really care if they get the mail back from a million pple, they just forget about it.

I guess they are lonely and need validation.. I just hit the delete key, unless I really know and connect with the person.

I believe people send them out because they are superstitious.
They believe if they don't send them out they will have bad luck.
Hope this helps.
