i just learnt a new term:

fram spam from friends. those email jokes, chain letters, stories etc that you get as one of the host of people on a cc:ed list containing all the people in your friend’s address book. i usually find fram’s characterised by a thousand lines of ”>“‘s and the most interesting bit is tracing back the friend-of-a-friends who’ve propogated this stuff to start with. in my friends defence i haven’t had to mail anyone a link to urbanlegends.com in absolutely ages, i used to do that about twice a week in an effort to educate and inform, perhaps i succeeded just a little. perhaps i’ve just got less friends now.
