If you agree, pass this on.

How often do you receive a forwarded email ending
with “If you agree, pass this on, if not delete
it.”? It seems to me I get at least one a week.
And how often do you agree? Most of the time I
disagree, since the author is generally someone
who seems to have nothing to say, but says
something anyway, and clearly didn't think before
saying it. Often they include statements which
are untrue, but are presented as fact.

When you get one of these, don't just delete it –
respond to it! Point out the errors and
misinformation in it, and present the facts. Then
email your response to the person you got the
forwarded email from, and ask him to pass it on.
If the email you received has the CC: list of all
the people the email was sent to, send your
response to all of them. Why just delete this
trash when you can respond with facts?

And remember:

If you agree, pass this on!
