Have you fell victim to IM stupidity? Have you recieved this msg and hastily sent it to everyone on your list without Verifying or even a second thought? Are you the person that makes me want to reach through my computer screen and beat some sense into?
Or how about this one,
For years these hoaxes have been circulating around the net. Don't be fooled and PLZ dont be "that guy" that sends them to everyone on your buddylists.
History: The AOL version of this hoax first appeared in 1998 and has circulated ever since. The MSN version appeared in July 2001, and the Yahoo version (above) followed a few weeks later. They're all virtually identical; they're all equally false.
It is better to be quiet and thought a fool, then to IM and Confirm it.

"Yahoo! is planning to charge Yahoo! Messenger as of (Insert date Here). If you want to keep Yahoo! Messenger free of charge, please send this message to everyone you know. Each person who receives this message counts as one 'signature' of which Yahoo! requires 1,000,000 to stay free".
