I have had three people (who should know better) send me an email today purporting to come from MSN claiming that messenger will cost £10 a month if this said email is not forwarded to x number of your friends.

One question. WHY ??? These are intelligent people. They aren't internet virgins by any stretch of the imagination. How can they honestly think that MSN are going to charge for this service ? How can they think that their forwarding of this email will save them from this imaginary charge ? (Sorry, that was three questions). :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:
 
:laughing: Sorry, cricketfan, but when you're incandescent, you could light up London!

I know, you do wonder at how people go into instant cyberpanic the moment anything arrives by e-mail? In the Olde Days, when you got a dumb round-robin letter from a pal, urging you to copy some 'or else' incantation to 20 close friends (20? I barely have 2!), you just made a paper plane out of it, sailed it across the office and out of the window, causing a five-car pile-up and justifying the reason why you should've sent it. But so many people worry about using the delete button and be damned.
 
For about the 8th time (but the first in quite a while) I got the "Bill Gates is sharing his fortune with all Microsoft users!!" Jeez.
 
You know CF, I thought the exact same thing [along with "poxy bloody Wozza!!"] and was going to send him back a scathing reply but really couldn't be arsed in the end! Please give him a kicking from me next time you see him!!!
 
I had the little girl who lost both her legs in a Peruvian car crash one again today - she's bloody unlucky, she's now lost 8 legs in just under 18 months, i'm almost tempted by the e-mails request for $28,000,000,000,000,000,000 :(
