Some people think of chain letters as a harmless diversion.
However, chain letters require the use of system or disk space in order to be stored. Space on University computer systems is reserved for university related work. Therefore, the distribution of chain letters is regarded as a misuse of University resources. If you send chain letters you might lose the right to use your account. Please don't send chain letters, and don't forward them if you receive them from others.
