*dies* Yeah. I ignore forwards as well. Especially the ones that go all "this was written by a girl dying of cancer, her family receives ten cents for every address you forward it to". Or I do a quick Google check, find the proof that the forwards are fake, then hit 'reply', attach the proof and request politely that people don't send me that kind of junk.

...Oh man, poor you in Texas, then. And hey, that's a good attitude to take! I'm just glad to live in MA, where it's got a decent chance of doing something.
