    I took these paracetamols a few days ago. Reason: Flu, fever and weary back and joints!

    If I didn't take any of those, the weekend would be even painful! :wall:

    I wouldn't worry about Paracetamol or Tylenol. They are actually safe if taken in the right dosage.

    That's exactly right -> the right dosage.

    Haha you're one of those few that I know, that actually reply to these chain mails.

    I only did it few times, but gave up when their ignorance level remains that high.

    I did it when they send me emails telling me that I have to send it to 25 people or my Hotmail account will be closed, swt

    Well, I only do it sometimes. There are so many e-mails like this one, it's impossible to reply to all of them.

    I was mean to my friend.

    She forwarded those donation thing saying aol will track your email and donate to a sick person.

    I replied to everyone saying that if aol can track your email, its invasion of privacy... and bla bla bla :mrgreen:

    LOL! But seriously, I'm quite surprised that people would actually believe such nonsense. If a company like AOL or Microsoft wants to donate money, they would just donate it. What's the point in asking people to forward e-mails, or tracking them? That would be a waste of time and money - resources that can be donated to said charity...

    It's also a waste of everyone's time and bandwidth. Sure, an e-mail is small.. but if everyone sends it to 20 others (as most chain mails would request), that's A LOT of e-mails after just 10 forwards down the line! A lot of time would also have been wasted forwarding or replying to the stupid chain mail...

    What I really don't understand is those - send to 10 people and your true love will appear LOL

    LOL! If only it was so easy.

    Well, in a way it's true if you already have your eye on a girl/guy. To you, he/she is your "true love". Having him/her appear appear is nothing magical. Would have happened even if you did not send the e-mail out. However, that doesn't mean he/she will actually fall in love with you! :haha: :haha:

    What about those 'cursed' email where Mr A was killed in a terrible accident after he failed to send the email to 10 other friends LOL.

    Hehe.. Those are real mind-bogglers, if you think about it.

    How did the writer of the chain mail know what happened to all those people who met with accidents after refusing to forward the e-mails? :haha:

    Maybe the only reason why I would forward you such email is so that you can debunk them and post them here (at the same time labelling people who send you those mails (me) as idiots) LOL

    That's of the reasons why people keep sending me such chain mails... :haha: :haha:

    Haha I only wonder, did you get any replies from them after sending them a long long mail?
     
  15. Adrian Wong

    Adrian Wong Da Boss Staff Member

    Most just forward the replies to their friends/relatives. :D

    I'm glad you replied to this. Never got it, but I do people forwarding stuff to me, and if they're close to me I take care to refute the mail. A good way to do that is to find people on the net who seem to know what they're talking about.

    I changed my email so many times, until I rarely receive forwarded emails now.. :thumb:

    I've been using the same e-mail address for about 10 years now. I prefer that people know how to get to me (even if it means more spam). That's the main benefit of getting a personal domain, IMO. I've had several e-mail providers over the years, and I always forward to the current one. That way I'm not tied to any particular provider.
