Chaim email ranks right up there with religious and political "assumption" email. Some, otherwise intelligent people, assume I believe what they do. This annoys me no end.

I wish more people understood what is wrong with chain letters. They are spam, and they are manipulative. And what really continues to confound me is how it is that people who normally won't allow themselves to be pushed around and manipulated by any other means, submit to the demands of chain letters. Even when they're told they are being sucked in, they still insist on participating in chain letters. Your article is so true, and good for a laugh at the same time. P.S. A huge kudos for providing the audio option for people who can't see the captcha image code to make comments. Well said! I wish more people understood what is wrong with chain letters.
