I did the "reply all" to my dad's "OMGWTFCOCKROACH" emails a couple of years ago with the debunking link from breakthechain.org and a friendly service announcement that it or snopes are really good sites for checking things out.
he didn't quite get the picture until I finally replied all with all of that info and the warning that, though I loved him and would *never* change my phone number and not tell him, I would not HESITATE to get a new email address and NOT tell him and actually FORBID other family members to give it to him if he did not stop the MADNESS!
no subject
