While I have not verified the math the numbers cited are astounding and underlines why I hate getting forwarded email chains and also my strong objection to friends of friends on Facebook. On the copy of this email that I received there were 183 different email addresses I was able to collect and I have to assume my address is now part of several hundred more! Spam anyone?<BR /> <BR /> <EM>"...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!<BR /> <BR /> I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) ... and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)... and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers .<BR /> If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!<BR /> <BR /> If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!<BR /> <BR /> Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!"<BR /></EM></P> Sat, 05 Mar 2011 19:01:10 GMT Marp 2011-03-05T19:01:10Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Email-Chain-Letters-and-Facebook-Too-Something-To-Think-About/m-p/37096#M16981 <P>The following is an excerpt from an email I received yesterday.
