sister ventually took the hint and my brother actually doesn't do that sort of email stuff.(his is mainly for his work and thats pretty much all he does with his computer... yes thats right a geek that wont game!)

What ticks me off is the sites claiming to help sick kids. I've got one with cancer and another with stuff. Never have I sought out such a method to raise funds for anything... nor have any of the other parents in like situations to mine that I know.(and I know quite a few at this point). Also the missing persons ones. People will similarly send out those feeling bad for the subject matter. Often though it is fake or perhaps the child has been found awhile ago but the thing is still circulating(and the news of them getting back isn't out there yet to where all the info on the case went). Basically missing childrens orgs might have a website but they often use tv or local flyers put in stores and like. They don't go emailing people about it. I do know somone who actually was on one of those lists.(not the email but the online one) and nothing circulated via email on them...<shrug>

Anyways personally at this moment I senstive on the line of the life threatening situation stuff. So such spam particularly annoys me. Though even when I didn't have to deal with such stuff regarding my kids, etc personally... I still found such emails in the very least email clogging and showing just how clueless some are to buy into things.(some emails not only say they'll send money but that they'll match your donation to a cause... they may look semi official using what appears to be well known co's names like AT&T... but checking the headers or the site or a hoax site would prove them a scam. Most people don't check things though they just buy it at face value)
