Don't you just hate......

those annoying spam e-mails you get from friends. I know they think the information is valid since they got it from a "good" source. But when I see that it's been forwarded ten times prior I immediately get suspicious.

This one I recognized and being in IT I know this is a crock of sh*t. The main focus of the e-mail hoax is:

When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will
track it (If you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two weeks
time period.

Ummm.....yeah....right. Won't/can't happen.

I like to take a couple minutes to search key phrases in the "e-mail" and see what pops up.

With this one I used Pearlas Sandborn as the search criteria.

Oh look. Snopes.com is the first hit.....along with hoax-slayer.com and breakthechain.org.

I responded to everyone in the e-mail list stating it was a hoax and that I did a web search.

I mean several web sites said it was a hoax and everything on the internet is true....right? Al Gore wouldn't let his brainchild lie to us....would he?

The entire purpose of this type of e-mail is to waste time and resources. Clog up e-mail servers and have people send it to everyone in their contacts.

STOP.THE.INSANITY!!!!!!

I'm not bashing my friends but I feel the need to educate them on these items.

Rant..Done.

Game..On.
