Here's a link to *lots* of hoaxes - including some photo hoaxes - that provides useful information.

Interesting link! Thanks, wow...enabled me to recoup some stuff I lost without opening when my mailbox deleted all my stored files without warning. The "found picture" for one. Sad to think someone would want to perpetrate a hoax like that on a situation like this...they must have something better to do.
