Sorry, Charles, it's just not so. It's wise to verify the original source of any email before you choose to forward it on. In this case, it took a little poking around the internet to find your "advice from snopes" was a fraud, actually documented on snopes. Apparently, this has been making the rounds for five years: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/petition/false.asp "We don't know who wrote the e-mail, but it wasn't anyone at snopes.com, nor does the letter contain advice from us. We've never said Congress doesn't accept e-mail petitions. We've also never said anything about such petitions having "tracker programs" attached to them that harvest the e-mail addresses of those who sign them, nor of spammers using these petitions to amass lists of active e-mail accounts. All that came from the mind of whover it was that penned the missive -- none of it was anything snopes.com had said." -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
