Default Chain E-mails (Iraq)

I got a chain e-mail today about the Iraq war, telling me to forward this message on to 15 people in my contacts as something nice would happen. Now I've broken this chain and please ensure you don't forward it when you get it. Its a simple chain e-mail playing on us by using freely available images of the Iraq war.

Mainly they are used to track e-mail addresses and traffic, plus flood e-mail servers with pointless traffic. Overloading and hopefully causing crashes and delays, but if we ignore them this can't happen. More info on chain letters and how they work can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_e-mail
Quote from the site:-
"Forwarding chain e-mail may increase a user's risk of getting viruses, and may also increase the amount of spam received, since participant's e-mail addresses are sometimes visible and may end up in the hands of spammers, either directly or via mailing lists archives on the web."

Break the chain people.

This message was bought to you by the letter S, P, A and M.
