Is this considered spam?

This stupid Bills Gates email that I get every goddamn day.

For every person that you forward this e-mail to, Microsoft will pay you $245.00 For every person that you sent it to that forwards to someone else bla bla bla

1. Yes, fry it up add melted cheese to make a nice spam sandwich.

Top it off with some Nigerian 419 sauce and it's yummy

2. Good, coz I'm reporting it as spam

Other people on the mailing list are sending me emails telling me to stop sending it and I never originated the stupid thing. Now I'm getting threats from poeple I emailed telling them to stop emailing me with threats to stop sending them these stupid emails. I'm getting really really pissed off here.

8. No, it's a chain letter where someone added my email

to her list. Everyone got pissed off about it and started emailing everyone on the list to stop emailing them with the chain letter. I couldn't just let it go and had to email them back that I was not the originator of the email. That started a war.

Meanwhile, the font size of each email whizzing back & forth is getting bigger and bigger for yelling emphasis. Everytime I get another one, my blood pressure rises and I start baning out more pissed off emails. Mr. Graywarrior thinks I take things too personally. Hmmmmmph!
