- empath75 7y agoI remember after a few months of being forwarded on stupid urban legend email chains by my mom, I started replying all on her messages with links to snopes. Did that stop her from sending around stupid emails without verifying them? No, but it did stop her from forwarding them to _me_, which is I guess a kind of victory.
