| ones floating around nowadays, check them out before you forward them.
| Most of them are junk mail that's been circling the net for YEARS!
| Just about everything you receive in an email that is in question can be
| checked out at Snopes. Just go to www.snopes.com. It's really easy to find
| out if it's real or not. If it's not, please don't pass it on.
|
| So please, in the future, let's stop the junk mail and the viruses.
|
| Finally, here's an idea!!! Let's send this to everyone we know
| (but strip my address off first, please).
| This is something that SHOULD be forwarded, and perhaps saved
| to send to anyone who still sends s to you .

Snopes is OK for general rumours.
