I will not forward a virus warning period. There are thousands of viruses out there, and if we got e-mails every time a new one popped up, that's all we'd ever get in our in boxes.

How about this one: I realise that if I sign that internet petition and forward it to everybody I know (and a few I don't) that by the time it has the required 100 signatures, it will have been forwarded several BILLION times, and I probably will have received 9 more copies of it myself. I realise that even if some of those copies manages to reach the President of the United States, he'll probably scratch his head and say "So who's this John Smith guy in Tulsa, and why is his name on 359 petitions? Hey, you think we can do this with write-in votes for the next election?"
