Not another chain letter!

Hello everybody!

I've been receiving alot of chain letters recently from friends. Things ranging from "My child has cancer, AOL will pay for her operation" to "I lost my parents in the tsunami and Yahoo! will send me money if you forward this" all the way to "If you do not forward this, you will have bad luck (or bad sex) for 10 years"... cooooooommon guys, how naïve can you be?

Chain letters like this only serve to clog people's inboxes and slow down the entire internet with useless stuff. I know you mean well when you send this kind of stuff out, but if you read into these random letters, most of the time you can figure out they're a scam. AOL or Yahoo! cannot track your emails in order to pay out those terminally ill children and there is no such thing as a leprochon that will give you bad luck if you don't forward a message to all your friends.
