What is an Urban Legend? Click

There's not a day that goes by I don't get several hoax warnings, chain letters, myths,
Urban Legends, etc, etc, etc that I have to patiently reply to and let the sender know that he
just FILLED MY EMAIL BOX WITH MORE JUNK!.....er..I mean...that he was misinformed on
the accurateness of said email...~deep breath~...I'm ok now.....
My PET PEEVE is people sending me junk without checking it out first! Would you pass on
gossip you hadn't checked out yet? Hmmmmm...ok...wrong question.
- Would you call the local
news station and tell them that there's this "BIGGEST VIRUS EVER", and ask them to tell ALL
their listeners JUST IN CASE it's for real?
- How about calling the police station and alerting them to a missing child without
verifying that the child is actually missing?
- Hey...would you like it if a dozen of your friends sent you a letter in the mail telling you that you will
receive $250. from Neiman Marcus if you send this letter on to all your friends?..oh wait, that's
a chain letter...and that's ILLEGAL!
Then why would you fill up other people's email boxes
with the same junk?
So, if you would like to be a responsible emailer, check out the sites listed below to CHECK
OUT your email before you pass it on.
Oh, before I list the sites below, check out this
