I cannot believe that even Goanet administrators are now trying to defend a fabricated chain letter. I thought it was amply clear to everybody that Mario's warning was a hoax. Vivian, have you read what was written in his forwarded chain letter email? Do you stand by its authenticity? Please ask your local health authorities, the CDC or any of the internet anti-spam watch-dog groups. I am sorry, but I think it is your responsibility to do so before categorically stating that Mario's warning was not a hoax, in this public forum, of which you are an administrator. Here are three other sites besides Snopes, Sophos and CDC, which state that it is a hoax: http://www.hoax-slayer.com/hiv-needle-hoax.html http://www.breakthechain.org/exclusives/hivseats.html http://www.f-secure.com/hoaxes/needle.shtml Please tell them that you think it is not a hoax, and ask them why they disagree with you. Does a bogus chain letter cease to be a hoax just because its contents bear a slight resemblance to just a part of something that happened to one of your friends? I think it is important for us to know if you and other Goanet administrators are now going to try to defend the veracity of fake chain letter emails based on such criteria. Does Goanet want to encourage the propagation of urban legends and internet rumors? Cheers, Santosh
