From another site, extract:

Who would do such a thing? The same sort of people who have perpetuated some of the top urban legends such as the claim that Mr. Rogers had a former secret career as a trained assassin, and that ATM users can quickly contact police in the event of an attempted robbery by entering their PIN in reverse. The cyberspace is full of lies disguised as inspiration, political alerts, health warnings, and prayers. Many come complete with enhanced photographs. The ones that are especially ironic are those that state, “Even Snopes has confirmed this,” along with a link to Snopes that attributes it as false. People who forward such emails, obviously do not check the link themselves. (source: To Forward or Not to Forward? By Patti Maguire Armstrong catholicmom.com)

Why this blog?

People send and wish to spread what they like! But, do you appreciate / hate /  keep up the marathon (forward it to your friends) or simply delete forwarded emails.

Attention, says a friend's email:
COPY THIS E-MAIL, AND SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS.
REMEMBER: IF YOU SEND IT TO THEM, YOU WILL BENEFIT ALL OF US

There is no one answer for all the above options. What you do find on the web are discussions / suggestions about the following:
Note: You will find in this blog forwarded emails + (wherever applicable) this blog will digg responses from forums, such as, urgan legned / snopes, etc.

I must admit that we delete most forwards. There are three people whose emails we keep and pass on.
