    You know what I'm talking about... The stupid chain e-mails that'll give you bad luck if you dont pass it on. The power point slides with pictures puppies and blah blah blah. The ones that your supposed to forward to everyone you care about. I especially hate the ones that come from MS stating that Bill Gates will give you head if you send it to 20 losers in 15 minutes. I get so many of these that its really starting to piss me off!!! And the fact people are stupid enough to fall for it pisses me off even more Who the fuck sits and writes them!? I'd really like to give them a piece of my mind :mad: Can you imagine how much of the worlds bandwidth is consumed by it? </rant>

            they are nothing new. In the pre-Internet era, it was chain mail, where you were suppose to make 20 copies and mail it, if not.... I am sure they had this in the stone age, where they use to carve 20 replica and ....you know the rest of the story.... :-O :-\ :doh:

            Yusuf Oh didn't you notice, analogous to square roots, they recently introduced rectangular, circular, and diamond roots to determine the size of the corresponding shapes when given the area. Luc Pattyn[^]

                Approx. 3 years ago I replied to every one of those sorts of mail whether it was friend, family or mere aquantence with a polite mail asking them not to send me rubbish as I already get too many emails blah blah blah thanks very much. I get about 5 a year now, usually from my dad because he knows which ones i'll actually find funny/amusing/whatever. 3 of those I would have already seen posted on one or other forums. 1 of the remaining 2 are cool airplane crashes usually :laugh:

                      Now the latest trend is that they have started sending out text messages and asking to forward to at least twelve people promising a luck in the coming week. I really wonder how much time the crappy fellow wasted in punching those messages into that freaking mobile keypad. :mad:

                        I have not had one of these in years, not since I called my sister a stupid, tree hugging idiot who need to get a life or at least get laid. Stopped the flow stone cold dead.
