Any email that demands that you forward it to as many people as possible is almost undoubtedly spam and usually phony as well - and even if it were legitimate it would be much more e-polite to (a) edit it down to the basic content and (b) send it only to people whom you are confident would appreciate it (and only then if you're willing to stop sending them things when they ask you to). Here's a link to the Snopes-site writeup of this particular chain letter: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/medical/slowdance.asp That should debunk this particular item, or at least give some food for thought. [Side note, somewhat book-related: the internet is far from the only place where things like this proliferate; people have always had a tendency to get caught up in something without checking the facts. One of my favorite books is Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, by Charles Mackay ( http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/1083309 ). It describes a number of entertaining (from my viewpoint - they may have been less fun to those involved) fads and fakes from the past. Recommended!] -GoryDetails Books just wanna be FREE!
