When I get a stupid spam email from friends/family/coworkers I send them the snopes link (and usually a commentary) disproving the email.

People just don't use common sense anymore, and they don't educate themselves and they research nothing. The more outlandish and scandalous an email/gossip is the more they believe it and spread it further.
It drives me crazy. </div></div>

I would love to do this, but most of my forwards come from my mom and my boss.</div></div>

Mine too but that still doesn't stop me lol
I'm like daaaaaaaaaad please stop sending that stuff! C'mon.. you don't want to spread stupidity! (dad's the main offender - mom kind of lays off that sutff)
And my bosses have forwarded some good ones too - but I guess they kind of expect those kinds of responses from me now [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] I tell them I'm doing them a favor.

Now that's really one of the ones that gets my goat! I've given countless econ lessons over it. I wont stop until the stupid emails stop. dagnabbit.
