> Normally, I don't forward messages like this one. That's a Good Thing (tm). I believe that about 99.999% of forwarded "chain" e-mails are completely bogus. > But I'm making an exception because I received it from a very reputable source. Reputable means nothing in this case. Even someone who is very reputable in their own right, can be misled into forwarding this kind of stuff. The one thing that I would ask anybody to do, who is thinking of forwarding something like this, is just take a few minutes to research it's authenticity. When I first got e-mail, I got a few of these things that sounded so real, even I was tempted to forward them. Luckily for me, I found urbanlegends.about.com and www.snopes2.com early on, and I always researched the ones that I thought *might* be real. Without fail, each and every one of them turned out to be a hoax. I now automatially delete pretty much anything of this nature that shows up in my in-box, without even reading it. I figure if something of this nature becomes reality, I'll hear about it from conventional news sources... ie, it'll be on CNN, Slashot, or the front page of the local newspaper. BTW, did you ever wonder what motivates the people who *start* these stupid chain letters???
