Please Don’t Forward

A little announcement: I love getting chain emails that have been forwarded about two hundred times. The ones with the replies that aren’t taken off, and the crazy email signatures.

Well, news is, I don’t really love getting those sorts of emails. Blanket emails sent to every contact in your contact book, etc. A few targeted emails are fine, but the whole forward on otherwise everyone’s computers will blow up and so will etc.

Keep the smiles, but stop the spam!

Anyways, here is the campaign page for this effort to cut back on the blanket forwards and the infamous hoax emails: noforward.cheerusup.com
