/1911/2002 Archived Entry: "Chain of Fools"

I've just received a chain-letter-ish email. Rather than forward it to everyone I know, or, indeed, delete it immediately, I thought I'd post it here, because it's really rather funny.

Considering the number of crap emails I get sent to me - I'm STILL getting those idiotic Nigerian/Botswanan/Other African State 'I need details of your bank account to get millions of dollars out of my country' emails. Honestly, don't people know we know about these things? This, by the way, is one of my favourite anti-virus myths/hoaxes etc sites, along with Snopes.com. Yes, I am sad enough to have favourite anti-virus websites...
