Why do people post stupid chain mail crap in their myspace bulletins?

Everyone gets 'em, not just you.  Some ppl have better spam filters or blockers on their email account.  Make sure yours is set to high.  \n\nAnd please don't believe any of them.  I'm sick of getting chain letters from ppl stating they're gonna get a $500 gift card from Applebees just b/c they're sending the stupid email to 10 ppl.

Thank you for the warning. However, much talk has been going on about MySpace and it hasn't effected many users thoughts on the site. Sickos are everywhere, not only on MySpace, and honestly if someone was to say something like Heyy i'm Mary I live at 123 Chesnut Ave NY then there is something very wrong with them. Thanks for the warning though!

they can spread viruses and they can help spammers collect addresses. some people are bored and haven't discovered yahoo answers yet.

Maybe they are smart enough to have their email set to read or recieve in plain text, which would strip your stationary out.\nI don't like stationary, it just makes the email much larger with no purpose.

The emails you're looking at are spam emails.  The extra text is there to try to fool spam filters into thinking that the email is a legitimate message.\n\nAnd you're absolutely right; from what I've seen of them the text is pulled in randomly, often from several sources.  Tricky to filter, but it can be done.

No, I don't believe in chain letters. But, not all of them are scary or bad. I just recieved a pretty cool funky sock exchange chain letter not too long ago. Throw the bad ones out, have fun with the cool ones.

There's loads of e-mails which ask you to forward to X number of other people - every one of them is a scam and should be deleted.\n\nThere's different reasons for them but usually it's to harvest e-mail addresses which will then be spammed.

It's not that they're stupid - it's that they're lazy, I think.\n\nI have some High School friends that seemed perfectly fine in real life, but then when they transferred over to email and instant messengers, the truth came out. "hay mully how r u 2day????????"\n\nI don't care who you are, if you're going to talk to me, you can spell out the words "you", "for" and "to". It's not that difficult. \n\nI also do not need to see more than 1 exclamation point or question mark. People are so odd.\n\n♥

It's annoying cause you'd think they'd just read other questions like it. I mean when you ask a question, it lists other questions like yours right under the box you're typing in. You'd think they have enough sense in their heads (even if they are teenagers) to just click on the other questions and read what advice they're giving there. No, they have to make users retype the advice. I've just learned that there's nothing you can do to stop the 200 questions that are asked like this a day. So I just put the link to another question like it in my answer...and still get my two points :D. If they want to be stupid enough and not look at similar questions, I'll keep sending them to where they can look for themselves, while trying to be nice about it. When all I want to say is "Look at all these other questions and answers you f*cking stupid pinhead!!" :D

Sounds kinky. I don't bother with any of my spam. I'd just delete it, too.

There are a couple of news articles if you search around a bit. Looks like lame vandalism to me.\n\nAnd talking about lame... how could anyone post something about Chick Publications. It is hate filled organization bent on coercion at all costs.

The simplest answer would be the same reason they have Human Validation Input strings for. So they know it's not a compromised or infected computer drone sending useless spam. Or you mistyped your e-mail address.\n\nIn other words... that the person sending the e-mail is really you, not an automated, programmed virus for example.\n\nHope this helps.
