Email Forwards are Annoying!

One of my biggest pet peeves is an email forward. I hate them (and there aren't many things that I hate because it's such a strong word but it's appropriate here). My aunt Louise is a purveyor of all types of forwards: petitions saying that we shouldn't shop at Target because they don't support the troops, pictures showing the enormous size of the Asian tsunami, and most recently a petition against famed atheist who is trying to get the word "God" off the public airwaves. They are all false, yet she keeps sending them and it really annoys me.

Each time she sends me a forwarded email, I send her a link to www.snopes.com that debunks the email, yet she never learns! I think they annoy me because they spread false ideas that shouldn't be spread in the first place, and their authenticity should be suspect because it is an email forward.
