i just got another F/A-37 Talon e-mail and i had a reply typed up with a link to snopes.  so i fired it back as a Reply to all.  took all of 45 seconds from the time the guy sent it to me that he got it back.    

then it hit me.  there must be a name for this.
should be called something like turkey hunting.

k

I call it a waste of time


YMMV

part of my job i have to have my corp e-mail on 100% of the time.  
i get an e-mail like a joke or some crap from a friend.  i forward it to others but some less than savy friends just forward it to their "Jokes contact list"  so it comes back to me.  And I get a cascade of the same stupid e-mail.  maybe the same joke 4-5 times over.  i can handle the jokes but i try to stop false e-mails before they are spread to others.
