an email from Charles Burke


Email petitions are NOT acceptable to Congress or any municipality. To be acceptable petitions must have a signed signature and full address. Almost all email that asks you to add your name and forward on to others is to get names and "cookie" tracking info for tele-marketers and spammers to validate active email accounts for their own purposes.

Most email that says forward this on to "10" of your friends, sign this petition, or you'll get good luck or whatever, has either an email tracker program attached that tracks the cookies and emails of those you forward to, or the host sender is getting a copy each time it's forwarded and is then able to get lists of "active" emails to use in spam emails or sell to others that do.

FYI If you want to forward stuff like this because it's interesting, take off all the "front" info and all the forwards and DON'T add your name to them. You still run the risk of forwarding the tracking program.




Give everybody a break by not forwarding all those petitions.
