"Forwardings" |
|
|
|
|
I've
noticed that quite a few of you, my classmates, are what I call
"Forwarders." You get an e-mail from a buddy that makes
you feel good, expresses a sentiment that you hold to be true, or has
enlightened you on some subject, and you want to share this with all you
know. It's easy to do with the e-mail software that allows you to
put your entire address book into a group, so with one click, you can
share your newly found gem with a hundred friends.
"Forwardings" fall into 4 categories:
-
Jokes:
Visual puns and narrative tales
-
Amazing
Things: Weird, beautiful, or incredible photos and
video clips.
-
Romantic
Things: Motivational, friendship, nostalgic, patriotic and
religious sentiments
-
"Little-Known
Facts"
This
is where you'll find some of the best (in my judgment) of the forwardings
that have come my way from you, my classmates.
All I
ask of you who are inclined to send things that fall into Category 4 is
that you verify the truth of that amazing story you just read (and want to
pass on to others) by looking it up on one of the many
"myth-busters" sites available:
www.snopes.com
