There are two things in life that really tick me off.

The first is a badly made latte. They are a scourge, a threat to the very fabric of humanity itself. People who make them should be forced to drink their own coffee for all eternity. That however may only affect my temper.

The second thing is chain email hoaxes. Ones that MSN is to close, or hotmail will charge you if you don't forward this to fifteen people. Ones that say you have been hacked and the only way your computer will be returned to your control is if you send this on to as many people as possible. In fact, any email that promises a fortune cookie appearing on your monitor when you forward something is also fake.

Microsoft will NEVER jeopardies their domination of the internet. Hackers will never be able to take over the machines of all hotmail users and have a big list that you can take yourself off of. It doesn't matter how many times you forward something, it won't get you your one true love. There are far more detailed reasons why these things are nothing but spam, but I'm not going into them.

If you MUST forward an email, forward this one. The message kids is clear: don't forward me this rubbish that does nothing but clutter up inboxes, use bandwidth and make the originators of the hoaxes laugh their heads off at the folk who believe it. Don't say it is all a bit of fun either; that excuse wore off in 1998.

So 6 of your firends must have been stupid enough to forward it onto you? Or just 6 who knew your your email address...

I would guess that they forward it to all their friends who forward it on etc.

How do they know your email address, that's what I want to find out. Or do they just use random words in the dictionary and mass mail their crap from there?

What really got to me was logging into hotmail to see that I had 6 of the same emails from paranoid morons.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Brilliant service.
