Against email forwards

I like Anil's statement against email forwards.

I'm pleased to say I no longer get them, myself. Nothing like a little debunking to make people feel stupid.

Wasn't that a commencement speech?

You mean, "Nothing like a little debunking to make people think you're a humorless jerk."

A lot of people think I'm a humorless jerk. I'm cool with that, as long as they stopped sending me the damn forwards.

Although Chris Locke did send out a good one the other day.

Of course the irony is that I've received something very similar to Anil's rant as a forward. More irony: people sent it to me many times because they knew how much I hate forwards.
