NEVER, you cant make me - Wordsmith.org

The polite version of that, found throughout Usenet is, "Google is your friend."

And I marvel that you can even find a tutorial about searching, just by typing in "Tutorial how to search"
into the oh-so-handy new Google toolbar.

and I would add to Bart's punishment:
"I will check Snopes before I pass on that stupid email forward", "I will check Snopes before I pass on that stupid email forward", "I will check Snopes before I pass on that stupid email forward", "I will check Snopes before I pass on that stupid email forward", "I will check Snopes before I pass on that stupid email forward"...

Dear etaoin: I also search for "hoaxes and urban legends",
plus a key word or two.

In reply to:
"I will check Snopes before I pass on that stupid email forward"

AMEN!

"I will check Snopes before I pass on that stupid email forward"

I am trying to educate a couple of my friends in that regard...sigh. I got one of those WORST VIRUS EVER ones the other day, from one friend who had sent it not only to me but to a couple of mutual friends here in town. I replied only to him, with a Snopes citation and a strong hint. Gee, somehow I thought he might pass THAT along (it was a letter first circulated in 2000, for gosh sakes!), but no...I got the very same letter 2 days later, from one of the mutual friends.

I used to just send it back to the sender with a snopes note, but I am now sending the snopes link on to all that got the junk mail with me. pisses off the sender, but too damn bad, I say. they'll think twice before they send something like that to me again...
