I don't forward chain emails.
Mostly I don't even read them.
A subject line with "Fw:Fw:..." usually results in the message being sent straight to trash.
Why?
Because I don't have the patience for the kind of impersonal, feel-good tripe they tend to contain.
Because I don't have the patience to scroll through dozens of forward headings to get to the actual message.
Because I'd like people who send me emails to say something to me.
Because I don't want to annoy the people I know as much as those things annoy me.

I tried to explain this to mom once...
