Stop Email Forwards and Video Emails

http://live.pirillo.com - Doug writes: "I'm still surprised at times when I get an e-mail forwarded to me that claims something is true without anyone having checked the validity of the contents. What the world needs now is more useful information and less useless information to fill up our Email, bog down the servers, and waste our time reading the garbage."

Agreed

How do I set a computer to run more than 1 screens, what hardware can I use for that? I'm currently having a laptop with an external screen connected. But how do I connect two or three to same computer.

Of course, I delete all Chain mail, and forwarded messages that are completely useless. I despise chain mail, and there's been a lot going around on Facebook lately. Especially ones that say, "post this message to your wall or we're going to disable your account". Which is a complete lie, considering that if you like the Facebook page itself, it would send you this type of information, if they ever needed it.

I rarely do fowards... I Have recieved one lately terlling me the center of the bible was this and times two was this.... Sure it looked net to see if true.... But Was It???? As your e-mail sugested I Have Never Wanted to find out if this or any thing else was true.... I Read maybe giggle or ponder for a sec then delete... What a great Idea.... Google some of the info to see if there are real actions being considered by those we are told they are.... This again AWESOME!!!

I welcome forwards but hate it when millions of email addresses come with it.

I'd rather have a deletable videofile in my inbox than having to use a shady uploading service website. And youtube has its limitations. There is etiquette and there is rigidity of mind.

I find it incredible, the amount of ignorant people out there who are dumb enough to believe and forward dozens of stupid chain letters and hoaxes without any kind of clarification to their authenticity. The world is truly full of morons who are either totally asleep or extremely stupid, to which unfortunately there is absolutely no cure!

Wow. Who cares what you say. Just b/c you have the right to speak does not mean you should.
