when one finds him/herself with one of those e-mails that asks its reader to send it to a certain number of people - including the person who sent it to the reader - or else something terrible will happen, one may find him/herself tempted to forward said e-mail to a bunch of people. here's how to decide who those recipients should be:
chances are, if you're ever actually driven to send one of these e-mails on to others, you've done it before. if people ever do send them back to you, then they probably don't mind receiving them. it's a safe bet that you can forward these things to those people. however, if there are people to whom you send these that
don't ever send them back to you, said people are probably too busy to bother with these things, don't like cluttered inboxes, and/or find them terribly annoying. as one of those people, i hereby ask the world to pay some attention to previous results and not repeat this process
