Computer Tip: Sign And Pass It On!?
Has anyone ever forwarded you an e-mail that has a
petition attached to it? These are called e-petitions
and they usually deal with something that may be
going wrong in the world. A few of the more recent
ones have been for lowering gas prices and
supporting our troops. When you get them, you
probably feel compelled to sign your name and send it along to all your
friends. But do e-petitions really help at all?
The truthful answer is no. Often times, the petitions have no information
about who will collect the signatures after the petition ends. Without that,
no action will take place. Even if the petition does have a designated
recipient, most of the time, the e-mail doesn't make it back to them.
E-petitions also come with no assurance that the cause they're talking
about is real. It's easy enough for a person to type out a bunch of names
and send it off. Petitions may be a good way to relieve some anger about
certain situations but, in general, they're not really worth your time!
Something to Think About:
“Always” and “never”
are two words
you should
always remember
never to use.
