Email chain

This is something that irritates the hell out of me. As soon as you answer an email, or get on somebody's email list, you receive chain emails for lack of a better word. You know the ones where you get a few wisdom words, and then a request to send it to 10 of your friends. Otherwise you'll be fried in hell, won't have any luck ever in your life, or die soon. I hate these emails. And delete them promptly. Just because I don't like being threatened. And seriously, does anybody believe in this crap?
