I'd be up for it. We just send it out to a bunch of people we know as if we
received it and consider it worth passing along. I'd pick the people I know
that keep huge mailing lists, maintain blogs/webcomics/rant pages, and are
charmingly naive enough to occasionally drop existing viral e-mail memes
into my inbox. Sometimes with a cc list of a hundred people. Sheesh.
Morally legitimately use of viral meme e-mail? You know, I can't think of
any. Interesting. That would make us trendsetters if we got this one
underway :)
