And we responded by telling you it's a well-known hoax...what's to
'converse' about it? The only discussion on such things occurs among
those too stupid enough to determine that it's a hoax.

Then you shouldn't be breaching the protocals of netiquette by spamming it
far and wide as you've been doing (I've seen your posting of it on at
least 3 or 4 lists I'm on, I'm sure you've sent it to others to which I'm
not subscribed)...
The only thing such behavior accomplishes is to distract (or attempt to)
viable lists from 'conversation' on really IMPORTANT matters into arguing
about what amounts to disinformation...disinformation which doesn't even
fit into the scope of what THIS list is about.

And has nothing to do with the scope of this list...

Perhaps because generally this list contains members who are more astute
than on other lists, and recognize obvious hoaxes when they see one, and
not only do NOT feel the need to spam such things under the auspices of
'truth', but endeavor to point out that it's an obvious scam spam...
