I'M SURE YOU GET AT LEAST AS MANY AS I DO, forwarded email messages from friends, relatives, colleagues and occasional strangers. They include jokes ("REALLY funny!"), dire warnings ("Gang initiation ritual: do not flash your headlights!"), offers of instant riches ("George's brother Bill will pay for each forwarded email!") and an endless stream of inspirational messages ("Send this angel to 100 closest friends today, and your wish will come true!"). Most of the time, they go straight to the delete bin. My own rules are brutal - any forwarded message without a personal note gets canned; any forwarded forward gets trashed without pause. Triple forwards don't have a chance.
