Unfortunately, those videos can seriously degrade the performance of our e-mail system when a user decides to forward it to everyone at their school site. Unfortunately, we live in a world with limits, and there are definitely limits to the capacity of our e-mail system. So, please do not forward those messages to any groups. In fact, it would be best if you didn't forward them to anyone, either within the the District, or on the outside. Another problem is chain e-mails, of which there are several kinds.
Hoaxes are really a kind of computer virus.
They start small but can grow to enormous proportions, clogging everyone's mail boxes. Ironically, some come in the form of a warning about a horribly destructive computer virus that is sweeping the country, and asking the recipient to forward the warning to everyone on their mailing groups. Another example of the chain letter hoax is the missing child report. Several of these are the outcome of a real missing child report, but which are still circulating on the Internet 3 years after the child was returned. Still another kind of chain e-mail is the feel good message.
