To Tell The Truth

ATTENTION!

Everyone who does NOT know what Snopes.com is, raise your hand!

Okay, Stupid, put your hand down.  Nobody can see you.

                Now that you have self-identified yourself as an idiot, I have something that I need to tell you: People post things that are NOT true.  Do NOT repost things that you’ve read on an internet site without verifying the validity of the claim.  It is very easy to go to www.snopes.com and type in a few key words and the truth or fiction of a story.  

               In the very early days of the internet there was an email going around that claimed something like this, “Microsoft is conducting a study of their email system.  If you receive and forward this email, Microsoft will reimburse you with $100.00.”  The fact that it was so stupid to think that Microsoft (or anybody else) would pay you for forwarding an email did not keep people from doing it.  I continued to see that email passed around for years and years. 

                PLEASE!  Before you forward the latest piece of cr@p that you read … check to see if it is true.

Thanks for your time.
