After all your friends get po'd when you tell them not to forward any life ending emails, send them this article.
I will not forward or answer these types of emails again. God will still love me if I don't forward all those messages. My luck will not turn bad. I will not collect money from Bill Gates for sending the most emails. This information from Snopes.com may help you understand why.
If you are going to pass something along, Let it be THIS!

Just a word to the wise. E-mail petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any other municipality. To be acceptable, petitions must have a signed signature and full address. Same with "prayer chains" -- be wary.
____________________________________________________________________________
Almost all e-mails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all this type of e-mail is, is to get names and "cookie" tracking info for telemarketers and spammers to validate active e-mail accounts for their own purposes.
_________________________________________________________________________
Any time you see an e-mail that says forward this on to "10" of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get good luck, or what ever, it has either an e-mail tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and e-mails of those folks you forward to, or the host sender is getting a copy, each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of "active" e-mails to use in spam e-mails, or sell to others that do.

Please forward this notice to others and you will be providing a good service to your friends, and will be rewarded by not getting 30,000 spam e-mail in the future.
(If you have been forwarding the above kinds of email, now you know why you get so much spam!) Jesse Smith
