Do you ever come across email chain letters that say something like:

Now make a wish and scroll down ((scrolls down about 15 seconds)) STOP!!! Send this to ## people and your wish will come true in ## minutes/hours/days.

Or things like this:

13 ways to tell if someone loves you ... (a list) ... Send this to 20 of your friends and you will get a date within the next day!

Well I am on the hunt for an EXTREMELY important chain letter that is of the 2nd variety. It was quite lengthy, and consisted of maybe 50-120 lines on tips to get a boy/girlfriend. I need to reread the contents on this email and extract the usefulness of this information. If anyone comes across this in their inbox or on the internet, please send it to me (on the forum, not by email of course).

It is critical to locate this message, I know it is being circulated somewhere, but I accidentally deleted it. I checked through my Hotmail inbox several times but could not find this exactly one!!!

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi FirefoxRocks,

While I can't help you with locating chain letters (since my spam filter hates them with such an unspeakble fury), what I can do however is point you to a similar resource.

As we know, chain letters are those emails the get continuously forwarded. You may opt to send it as-is, or even add, modify, and delete your own pieces of information. As we can see, this is quite a rudimentary form of massive collaborative editing.

You must upgrade to next step of this multiplayer notepad game. Try WikiHow, a great collection of credible (?) and undoubtedly useful information in the form of how to's. I even took the time to link you to a search results page of the specific topic you were looking for. Naturally, this was done under the assumption that:

• You are male
• You want a girlfriend

Have fun!

Thanks, but I'm not looking for a how-to guide specifically. And no, I'm not looking for a girlfriend, the email that I read was something like "100 ways to know if she likes you" or something along the lines of that. I think I know who forwarded me the email, so I messaged her on Facebook to see if she still has it. I hope I got the right person with the right message.

You call WikiHow a multiplayer notepad game? Does this apply to other wikis as well?

Of course they are, sir. You caught the undertone quite fast.

I do hope you get your chain letter from your friend. Good luck!
