Don’t you just love the chain emails many new users send out to all their contacts that happen to be lucky enough to be in their address book? The new online computer user, or newbie, is easy to spot. When the newbie actually has something to voice, they turn on their caps lock key, or forward a message, which has been forwarded many times by other newbie’s. If you have the patience to scroll through a page or two of email addresses you get to the joke or message.
Here’s a tip for users that have just discovered the Internet.
1. Turn off yours CAPS LOCK.
2. Use the copy and paste function to make your message appear that you actually took some extra time to compose.
3. Insert all email addresses into the Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) so we don’t have to see all the lucky people receiving your forwarded message.
4. Send the message to yourself, to see if the pictures are attached, then to your contacts.
5. Do not forward a message that has to be opened ten times to open the attachment; we tend to erase the message after the third message inside your message is opened, and we are still not able to view your cute message or picture.
6. Guilt trips are not my thing, so don’t be offended if I do not send the message to ten other users and back to you, God still loves me, I’m still your friend, and I have rather good luck already.
7. Understand many of us receive this type of message on a daily basis and view it as spam and nothing more.
