FM Syndrome

FM Syndrome??
No its not the radio(Frequency Modulation) syndrome.
Its about the Forwarding Mails Syndrome.

The very first thing most IT people do after they come to office is check mails. Its the most important n inevitable routine followed. :), After 'reading', I dont think most people even bother to open most of the mails, they start fowarding mails to the group they created earlier, with 20 or 30 or 50 or more mail ids in the list.

Most of the mails contain the fav lines,

If u r a true Indian, fwd this
Wht the F, if u dont fwd the mail, how can the nationality change?
Fwd this to n people, ur wish will come true in n minutes
Then everyone can become GOD
If u dont fwd this, unluck will follow
What if there was no mailing system?
Dont break the chain
So what? every chain has two ends, tied or untied
Collection of signatures to President of India
Why bother our President's mail box

Many more may are there.
The most silly mail received just yesterday was the pattern follwed by the Terrorists in the bomb balsts.

13 May -------- JAIPUR
June---------NA----------
26 July ------------ AHMEDABAD
August ------------NA---------------
13 September ------------ DELHI
October ----------NA---------------
26 November --------------- MUMBAI
December --------NA(hopefully)--------------------
13 January ----------------- What Next?

But what the person who 'designed' the mail forgot was, 26 Nov Mumbai blasts were masterminded for 27 Sep, Gokul chats blasts were aug 25, Bangalore blasts were on 25 July, any clues to ur logic now??

I am not against the fwding mails. Just refine the fwd mails, what really is good or necessary or useful or pleasant.
