So sorry everyone, I was checking e-mail and saw this from a
friend and thought it was real. I didn't check to see if it was a
hoax. I guess no one before him checked it either. I won't let it
happen again. Thanks to all for setting the record straight.


Lyndell, afer a while, you'll be able to tell when one of those so-
called warnings are actually a hoax. People make those up for the
express purpose of getting well meaning (but gullible) people to
spread them around. For the most part they're just harmless pranks. I
get them forwarded to me from time to time by slightly naive friends.
One of my favorites was the KFC genetically modified chicken warning.
If you've not seen it, look it up.

The fact is that at one point or another EVERYONE is at least somewhat
fooled by such an email. You're not alone by any means. Soon you'll be
able to spot them on sight.
