Gullible

I was inspired by this and thought I would jump in and voice my opinion as well. Like TKW said in the link above, with the exception of work-based email, nobody can track an email once it hits web-based email accounts (Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, etc). Not Bill Gates, Microsoft, Pepsi, or the American Cancer Society. Nobody is paying 3 cents, 5 cents, or handing out $50.00 Abercrombie gift certificates just for passing on an email.

Seriously, it takes just a few seconds to check the accuracy of an email and saves the trouble and time of those who receive them - many of whom are too superstitious and ignorant about email that they continue the cycle of these internet hoaxes (some of which I have seen several times over the past 6 years since I've had my email address). Though Snopes is but one of the fact checking sites out there, I am a fan of truthorfiction.com which I have been using for about 5 years. They've never led me astray. In fact, think about it. If it sounds too good to be true, IT IS!! Stop sending these emails, and furthermore, STOP BELIEVING THEM!
