Why do people send chain emails?
I just received a chain email claimed if I delete something horrible will happen. Obviously I don't believe in good or bad happening based on a delete button.
For those that send chain emails, why do you do it?

Re: Why do people send chain emails?
I think they're so obnoxious and I can't understand why they even get started in the first place. On Myspace people send chain bulletins now...so annoying.

Re: Why do people send chain emails?
I don't send them and I don't read them. I have enough crap going on in my life to get the kibash by an e-mail!!

Re: Why do people send chain emails?
cause sometimes it's give people breaks from their motany (sp?) of their day, or something to smile/laugh at.
I don't send them, but my SIL loves sending them to me. I read and delete.

Yes but if I get a joke/cute story, I forward it & delete the portion that says you need to forward it.

Re: Why do people send chain emails?
yeah I hate the ones that tell you you need to send it to 100 people in the next five minutes or you will have bad luck for the next 10 years... those are deleted without looking twice.
sometimes I read the ones with jokes or cute pictures.

Re: Why do people send chain emails?
I can't stand them, and sometimes reply to the sender (and/or the group, depending on circumstances) with the link to Snopes, if it is related to misinformation.
Unfortunately, you can't tell someone what they can or can't believe in. If someone believes that not sending a chain mail will give them bad luck, how can you convince them otherwise? How many people avoid black cats, throw salt over their shoulder, wish on a star (or 11:11), etc....

Re: Why do people send chain emails?
I hate those!!! Uggh!! So dumb. I don't mind emails that have cute pictures or a nice message but I hate the "if you don't, something bad will happen" type.

 She never send the "HELP FIND THIS MISSING CHILD" ones - she'll just send me cute kittens, I can handle that!
Ok good!! LOL I was worried.
