Bad luck emails. Unfair?

I have a friend who is very superstitious and also suffers occasionally with depression. Recently she was very low and told me that she had received an email from "a friend" telling her to do a, b and c or else she will get bad luck. These forwards are quite common and many people send them out without thinking about it. Most of us can delete them without a second thought. However, superstitious people are less fortunate and may feel pressure to do as it says.
So, what do you guys think? Do you forward the emails thinking they are harmless? Do you think the superstitious people are over reacting? Are you superstitious. I'd be interested to hear other views on this.

OMG, so tired of that crap. "If you don't send this to 10 friends in the next 5 minutes your dog will die and the neighbors will burn down your house" WHAT CRAP!!!!
I have several friends that are regular senders of those things, and I asked them to NOT include me in these. A couple of them were mad, but most understood. I don't mind getting the ones to "Support Our Troops" and such, but if I see the "Good Luck Fairy" one more time, I may blow up my computer. My girlfriend gets/sends those all the time and I think fir the most part it is a TOTAL waste of good bandwidth.

No I dont forward such nonsense emails. I don't believe that if I don't forward that email to another ten people, bad luck falls on me. So I wont annoy my friends with such crap.
