Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Connie, don't feel too bad. I got my first lesson in this when a credible friend sent me a message about a virus that could ruin my computer, with instructions on how to find it & remove it. Well, I followed the instructions, found it (Oh, Thank goodness!) and removed it. Then I sent the message on to EVERYONE in my address book, so they could protect their computers too. I got about 10 emails back telling me it was a hoax & referring me to truthor fiction & a couple of other sites. Turns out that what I removed is actually necessary for some programs to run correctly (Oh, Shit!). It didn't matter to me, but I had to send an apology & explanation to all those people, again. So, I am very careful about forwarding this kind of thing, even when it comes from a trusted friend. Like myself. It only takes a couple of minutes to check it out, as long as you don't get distracted by the other rumors & hoaxes! Don't go to the insects/reptiles section unless you have a lot of time & a strong stomach.

Uh Oh...ConnieRose wrote: Connie, this is a hoax. Go to www.truthorfiction.com for the info on it. When you get to the website, look on the left for "missing persons" and click it. You'll find the story there, along with many others. It's a good idea to check out these stories. At the least, they clog up a lot peoples' email. At the worst, they might carry a virus, worm, ant, spider, bat, possum, whatever. I just got one tonight that has been making the rounds for years, about Madelyn Murray O'Hair haunting us from the grave so that the word "God" can't be said on tv. This came from a friend of mine who surely knows better. I'm pretty positive I sent her the info on checking these things out before, so this time I just deleted it, along with probably at least 100 names & email addresses. Okay, climbing down off my soapbox now.
