In the world of SPAM I consider this my favorite piece of Spam. Though I would post a blast from the past. I think the first time I got this e-mail was in 97 or 98 I don’t recall exactly. But thought I would drop it out there.

I consider e-mail forwards to be rather annoying since most people leave all of their friends e-mail addresses in them and the past few people that passed it along. Normally I grab all of the e-mail addresses and put them in a reply to all.

Then I paste an image along the following lines.

Hopefully the point comes across that FWD’s are evil. Kinda like MySpace Survey’s. Hmmmm if comments are enabled on bulletins I should try that.  Well going to go look at that most people don’t enable comments. For good reason.

Is this because I forwarded you the Barnes and Noble coupon? I FAIL

That wasn’t a forward that was a hell of a deal =).

A forward is something regarding some kid that is missing that snopes said is fake.

Or some fwd about drunk chicks or something from 1998 that is brand new to you since the internet has AOL as your gateway.
