I experience the same thing as I haven't gotten many chain letters in a long time. This is due, I think, to two things: 1) I trained my family to either stop emailing this stuff or stop emailing me this stuff. I would do a quick search on the topic which usually ended up with sending everyone a quick sentence asking to read the snopes article I linked. 2) I am in a different social network that is insulated from the "main stream" social networks (I'm just saying different, no more no less). The people who are connected between networks are my filters. I assume that most of them are literate enough to stop forwarding this junk from one group to another. There was a technology magazine article I scanned a while back which explained visualizing social networks that better illustrated what I have feebly described.
