Do you contribute to chain mail? I mean, if u get an email and read it, and it says something like... "if you don't send it to at least 10 people you will have bad luck for 10 years" do you send it out? Or do you just delete it? I was amazed by the fact that most people, although they don't believe in it, still send it out! How about anyone else? Do you send it out?

No, no, no and no. In fact they severely irritate me when they come from people I know - and I typically email them back asking them to please not forward that crap to me.

Chain letters, especially those that ask you to send money are illegal, at least in the US.

Nope. I just delete them. A lot of them come from one particular person, sometimes the same one several times over a course of months. I think everybody has at least one "e-mail fanatic" in their circle of friends who they can always count on sending them a couple of those typically fun but pointless e-mails each day. I read most of them and some of them are actually quite funny but rarely do I pass them on ; once every blue moon, if one particularly tickles my fancy then I'll spread it. But otherwise, it's just click on the delete button and it's gone, forever. I don't even route them to my trash folder ; they just go away altogether right away.
