IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT FORWARDING ARTICLES

Friends: Before you even forward this email PLEASE, copy and paste it into a NEW email. DO NOT FORWARD as it will still accomplish the same thing it is telling you NOT TO DO. Save this information for future reference. You may need it as a reminder or guide line.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO COPY AND PASTE HERE IS HOW YOU DO IT: You COPY by scrolling down through the article until it turns blue by left clicking your mouse and placing your curser at the beginning of the article and continue on down until the entire article is blue. Then while it is still blue hit CONTROL and the Letter C. Go to a NEW email compose section and then in the body of your compose section click the curser and then hit CONTROL and the letter V. This will paste the article into the compose section. Then you need to use your Bcc to send to your email friends list. Bcc is BLIND CARBON COPY. This way ONLY the person you who gets the email will see their own address and no one elses. In your "TO" address line - above that somewhere it says "show Cc & Bcc" - click on Bcc and another address line should drop down in which to add your addresses you wish to send to. This step is an important one for you to follow when sending out any email to more than one person at a time.

The man that sent this information is a computer tech. He spends a lot of time clearing the junk off computers for people and listens to complaints about speed. All forwards are not bad, just some. Be sure you read the very last paragraph.

By now, I suspect everyone is familiar with snopes.com and/or truthorfiction.com for determining whether information received via email is just that: true/false or fact/fiction. Both are excellent sites.


Advice from snopes.com VERY IMPORTANT!!

1) Any time you see an email that says "forward this on to '10' (or however many) of your friends", "sign this petition", or "you'll get bad luck" or "you'll get good luck" or "you'll see something funny on your screen after you send it" or whatever --- it almost always has an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those folks you forward to. The host sender is getting a copy each time it gets forwarded and then is able to get lists of 'active' email addresses to use in SPAM emails or sell to other spammers. Even when you get emails that demand you send the email on if you're not ashamed of God/Jesus --- that is email tracking, and they are
playing on our conscience. These people don't care how they get your
email addresses - just as long as they get them. Also, emails that talk
about a missing child or a child with an incurable disease "how would you feel if that was your child" --- email tracking. Ignore them and don't participate!

2) Almost all emails that ask you to add your name and forward on to others are similar to that mass letter years ago that asked people to send business cards to the little kid in Florida who wanted to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most cards. All it was, and all any of this type of email is, is a way to get names and cookie' tracking information for telemarketers and spammers -- to validate active email accounts for their own profitable purposes.

You can do your Friends and Family members a GREAT favor by sending this information to them. You will be providing a service to your friends. And you will be rewarded by not getting thousands of spam emails in the future!

Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name(s) to those types of listing regardless how inviting they might sound! Or make you feel guilty if you don't! It's all about getting email addresses and nothing more.

You may think you are supporting a GREAT cause, but you are NOT!

Instead, you will be getting tons of junk mail later and very possibly a virus attached! Plus, we are helping the spammers get rich! Let's not make it easy for them!

ALSO: Email petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress of any other organization - I..e. social security, etc. To be acceptable, petitions must have a "signed signature" and full address of the person signing the petition, so this is a waste of time and you are just helping the email trackers.
