E-'Black'mail

I get really angry when I read forward mails from friends which has at its footer, lines of warning say 'Forward it to 15 odd people and see how your life changes'. If it's gonna stop with that line it's fine. But it will carry some cautionary advice 'If you are not gonna forward then it will bring bad luck for the rest of the years'. And many other bull shit threats. Some moron just coz he has no other job, kicks it off and people forward them in chain. What are you trying to prove by forwarding it? That you are a coward or that you are foolish. It's understandable that one thinks, why to take chance but that doesn't give you any right to send on such spam esp when the mail reads stuff like  'If you don't forward it, you might loose your dear ones'. Emotional black mails thats what many a times e-mails have become. It's like falling prey to someones hoax and drifting apart from your buddies. I recall my friend texting me once 'Why don't you type a 'Hi' rather than sending me some forward. I would feel happy'. He is right. I couldn't agree more.
