Hey everyone, let me start of by saying Im not mad or upset, just slightly irritated. Please dont be offended or take this post the wrong way. If you could just do me a favor, all the "myspace" type messages going around "If you love me, or if your my friend forward this back, forward to everyone you know to see if they love you and your friend". That type crap. For some reason is a pet peeve of mine. Now I know when you forward it everyone just selects everyone on their friends list and drops it, but If I am on your friends list could you do the small favor of excluding me from it. I get all excited when I see I have "5 new messages" and then I see that all 5 are the same forward from 5 different people, kind of a let down ya know. I dont know, call me psycho. If you must or if you forget its cool, I will never say anything else about it, and once again this is not meant to offend anybody, and Im not mad. Just dont really care for them is all..

Thanks..

I know many that don't like them. Half the time I ignore them. No offense taken.

I totally agree. I hate those things and i don't want to hurt someone's feelings by not replying or telling them to not send them. When I was like 20 i didn't mind them but I'm 33 and going through a hard time. When I come here i want to have mesages that reflect on what is going on or just to say Hi i care just wanted to see how your doing or even for a little hummor. But I hate those chain letters.

I get that disappointed feeling too. I ignore them for the most part. Cute though.

I know what ya mean about being excited about getting all those messages, but most of them are "chain" messages. It IS a let down. BUT, It doesn't bother me enough to say something. I just erase it and bye bye it goes. :)

I thought I was the only one that got really excited when I see lots of messages in my box. The sad thing is I feel a real let down when there isn't any at all!

Those things SHIT me!!! I get them via email too. They are incredibly inpersonal and there is no way I will be coersed into making others feel warm and fuzzy. If I hug, kiss or thank someone for their friendship, it's genuine and from the heart not in the form of a cyber chain-mail letter.

I'm sorry. I was probably one of those people that sent it to you. I usually "hate" them and almost always delete them. But for some reason I'm feeling extra desperate tonight and at the end of the message it said "you'll hear something you've been waiting for at exactly 11:04am tomorrow. I'm not normally so supersticious but I am really curious this time for some reason.
I'll tell you what, if nothing happens at 11:04am I'll never send one of them again, but if I win the lotto you'll be the first person I send a chain letter to... along with at least $100. :)

they just don't work too well on DS. I'm surprised to see others not into them either. Why aren't we into them? Does that say Something?

I guess the longer you've been online, the less they impress LOL

There is nothing wrong with communicating and expressing yourself. We need to relate and I can't go around in the world wondering if I am hurting someones feeling when they pull such inconsiderate stuff. It's like saying "I am going to bring over all my friends to your house since I'm dropping by and they didn't ask first. It's your house.your email is yours and should be respected

Glad to see Im not the only one who gets bugged by these chain letters.
You know what else really bugs me? When people do send ya an email and don't clean up the million other addresses that were forwarded along with the email they sent ya. I sometimes feel like sending nasty emails to all those people telling them they're a bunch of idiot robots, but that's just me :)

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
