email forwards

it does seem like a lot of the bullshit floating out there about obama is being spread by forwarded emails.

part of me simply can't believe this kind of whisper campaign actually works. we're more than a decade into the email age, we all get a fair number of email forwards every week. and they're almost always completely wrong. snopes.com wouldn't exist if it weren't supplied by a constant stream of bogus emails. why would anyone take an email forward as a credible source of information?
