> Email Facts Of Life for Mr. Hoffer
>
> 1. Big companies don't do business via chain letter. Bill Gates is not
> giving you $1000, and Disney is not giving you a free vacation. There is
> no baby food company issuing class-action checks. You can relax; there
> is no need to pass it on "just in case it's true". Furthermore, just
> because someone said in the message, four generations back, that "we
> checked it out and it's legit", does not actually make it true.
>
> 2. There is no kidney theft ring in New Orleans. No one is waking up
> in a bathtub full of ice, even if a friend of a friend swears it happened
> to their cousin. If you are hellbent on believing the kidney-theft ring
> stories, please see:
http://urbanlegends.tqn.com/library/weekly/aa062997.htm
> And I quote: "The National Kidney Foundation has repeatedly issued
requests
> for actual victims of organ thieves to come forward and tell their
stories.
> None have." That's "none" as in "zero". Not even your friend's cousin.
>
> 3. Neiman Marcus doesn't really sell a $200 cookie recipe. And even if
> they do, we all have it. And even if you don't, you can get a copy at:
> http://www.bl.net/forwards/cookie.html Then, if you make the recipe,
> decide the cookies are that awesome, feel free to pass the recipe on.
>
> 4. We all know all 500 ways to drive your roommates crazy, irritate
> co-workers and creep out people on an elevator. We also know exactly
> how many engineers, college students, Usenet posters and people from
> each and every world ethnicity it takes to change a lightbulb.
>
> 5. Even if the latest NASA rocket disaster(s) DID contain plutonium
> that went to particulate over the eastern seaboard, do you REALLY think
> this information would reach the public via an AOL chain-letter?
>
> 6. There is no "Good Times" virus. In fact, you should never, ever,
> ever forward any email containing any virus warning unless you first
> confirm it at an actual site of an actual company that actually deals
> with virii. Try: http://www.norton.com . And even then, don't forward
> it. We don't care.
>
> 7. If your CC: list is regularly longer than the actual content of
> your message, you're probably going to Hell.
>
> 8. If you're using Outlook, IE, or Netscape to write email, turn off
> the "HTML encoding." Those of us on Unix shells can't read it, and don't
> care enough to save the attachment and then view it with a web browser,
> since you're probably forwarding us a copy of the Neiman Marcus Cookie
> Recipe anyway.
>
> 9. If you still absolutely MUST forward that 10th-generation message
> from a friend, at least have the decency to trim the eight miles of
> headers showing everyone else who's received it over the last 6 months.
> It sure wouldn't hurt to get rid of all the ">" that begin each line.
> Besides, if it has gone around that many times, I've probably already seen
>it.
>
> 10. Craig Shergold in England is not dying of cancer or anything else at
> this time and would like everyone to stop sending him their business
cards.
> He apparently is also no longer a "little boy" either.
