Whoever invented the 'forward' button.. I hate you.

I really wish that the person who invented the 'forward' button used in so many email programs had thought twice. Thanks to these god-awful viruses doing the rounds, some of the people at work still get the false 'you sent a virus' mails. And what do they do? Delete them? Ring us ask if they should do anything? Some, but far too many people just hit the forward button and send it to us, without a message attached. Excuse me? If you're too damn lazy to even write a single word of your own, then why the hell should we help you? Maybe it's just me, but I find it the equivalent of someone walking up to the desk, sticking a CD on the desk and not saying a word. They wouldn't do that, so why the hell do use the forward button like it's going out of fashion.

And it's not just at work, either - people just forward crap without reading it - the most ludicrous urban legendy bollocks that they don't read yet think because it came from teh intarweb it must be true. Maybe I'll just take away their mice and see how much forwarding they do then.
