Am I gullible?

We all get those stupid emails once in a while. It's usually a riddle. And the only way you can "get" the answer is to send it to 10 people, at which point the answer will "magically" appear on your screen. My question is this: has anyone who has ever sent out an email like the one above EVER gotten the expected result? EVER?

Now, I'm no computer genius, hell I'd love my Commoddore 64 back, with Larry the Lounge Lizard 4 (your goal is to have sex, and that's pretty cool for a computer game if you ask me), but I know that for something to "magically" appear on the screen there needs to be some sort of program, or programming code, stored on your computer. (Correct me if I am wrong). And since the majority of the time these emails don't come with an executable file (.exe), how on G-d's green earth will some magic answer genie appear on my screen?

So why, oh why, do I continue, in my delusional state, to send out these f'n stupid emails to people, hoping against hope that some miraculous computer genie will pop up and answer the stupid riddle? He never appears.

I'm a sucker. Chances are you are too.

P.S To those of you who received the riddle, I apologize. The answer, for those who want to know, is: LANGUAGE. Figure it out.
