E-mail and Genealogy!

Queer isnt it, how in the holy earth do I correlate E-mail and genealogy. But let me place my idea before you! It is not very strange of people trying to trace their ancestors through friends, organisations, articles. But what about tracing an ancestor of yours through a mail. Yes, thats the idea I got when I received a forward which was inturn forwarded more than 15 times and in all consisted of atleast 500+ email addresses.

So, this is how it works .. the genealogy mail would be sent to all my friends urging them to forward it to their friends each time making sure that new details get appended to the original mail. Each time the mail is forwaded atleast one of the person in the "To:" group would take the responsibility to document his friends list in a central repository. So this is how the genealogy mail would keep circling the globe snowballing with the email addresses.

And BTW my sincere apologies to all "Mail Servers", all "SpamBlockers".

Let me know what you feel about this idea of mine !

PS:In my genealogy mail there would not be any of the following statements like - "Please send 20 copies of this email to people whom you think need good luck. Please do not send money. Do not keep this letter. It must leave you within 1 hour. An Employee got a promotion in 3 days after sending it. Another employee was retrenched from the same job for not sending and breaking this chain letter". I promise!! So keep an eye on those "Inboxes"

Peace!
