PLEASE CHECK YOUR SOURCES!!!!!!!!!

OKAY PEOPLE... Good advice time!

 

PLEASE DO NOT, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, SEND OR FORWARD AN EMAIL BEFORE YOU VERIFY WHETHER IT IS TRUE. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!!

 

I HAVE PLACED THIS ADVICE ON ALL MY SITES, AND HAVE EVEN INCLUDED THIS ADVICE IN TWO OF MY NEWSLETTERS, BUT DANGED...

 

SENDING AN EMAIL ON BEFORE VERIFYING IS THE SAME THING AS GOSSIPING. REST ASSURED OF THIS. IT CREATES HAVOC ON THE INTERNET, FLOODS EMAIL INBOXES, AND TAKES UP VALUABLE TIME.

 

HERE ARE THE SITES YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT BEFORE FOREWARDING ANY EMAIL. DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ BECAUSE 3/4'S OF IT FLOATING AROUND THE INTERNET IS FABRICATED OR DOCTORED.

 

BE AN ACTIVE INDIVIDUAL AND HELP BY MAKING SURE ONLY THE TRUTH GETS SPREAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION. :pdt34::pdt34:

 

Here are sources you can check for hoaxes and threats:

In the last few weeks I have checked several emails through Snopes and found your 3/4 ers to be right on. In fact one in particular had me almost going for thr foreward button, especially since at the bottom was a note " VERIFIED BY SNOPES ". It sounded so true. And it was by Paul Harvey. On a whim, I went to Snopes and "WALLAH"--------FALSE.

 

Keep pounding it to us MARE.

Chuck, move to the head of the class! :armata_PDT_37: You are to be commended for your efforts. I for one thank you. Merci beaucoup mon ami!

 

People keep sending me junk on an almost constant basis and I keep telling them to verify, but the same danged people keep sending me things. When I tell them to re-check because it's been proven to be false, they answer back, well it SAID IT WAS TRUE! When did everyone become so danged naive and gullible? Because it said it was TRUE!

 

I would love to send them something about themselves and say, "Look what I heard about you. This person said it was true, so you must be a drunken thief!" Wouldn't that be the same thing?

 

What if I sent something along and some people doubted it, but I resent it and placed Dwight D Eisenhower's name in the email. Would that make it so? GOSH! I just don't know! :banghead:

Marion,

Thanks for spreading the gospel on this. I am forever copying from snopes and attaching it to emails and returning them. I've even gone so far as to write a letter to a couple of the worst offenders in my addy book reminding them how they would feel if someone wrote those things about their kids.

Thanks!!!

Civilwargal, you are very welcome. Nothing drives me crazier. Hey it's cool when you inform people once. There's a learning curve for everything. But when you tell someone twice, three times, six times, it becomes damn right annoying.

 

Two people come to mind right away- one being a cousin and the other a friend from long ago, and they continually do it. :armata_PDT_19: My cousin said once, well sorry but I lost those web addresses a long time ago. So I resent them, and then a few months later... I'm about ready to bop her on the head. :hit:
