I Find This Funny

I am one of those who has been online since the mid 90's. For any who might not have been around so long, let me assure you, all those email forwards that never seem to end, well, they've been running through email boxes ever since email first began, and along with forwarded jokes and such, hoaxes started running rampant too. This gave rise to websites such as www.snopes.com (and a few that came before it, but don't seem to be around anymore) which checks these things out and let's you know that they are in fact hoaxes. Admittedly they do lean a little to the left on Political things, but they're quite good if you're just looking to check on a basic factual issue. Quite often you'll get one of these hoax emails and just know that whatever it's claiming to offer is just too good to be true, and therefore you can just delete it and laugh at the friend who sent it to you, but sometimes one might seem like it could be legitimate and so you could head on over to snopes.com to check it out. Then some people thought it would be helpful to let people know that they had checked something out and it was, in fact, true, so you started seeing emails where people had typed notes on the bottom to let you know that Snopes had verified the information. Now, this is what I find funny, there is a trend that has started where the hoax emails have notes on the bottom saying that Snopes.com has verified the information in the email. Of course, if you go to www.snopes.com you will find that they say that the email is not true. What is really funny is that sometimes, you'll even find a link right to the correct page at snopes.com, that you can click right on and find out that it's a hoax... and yet, for all of that, people still forward them. Isn't email a hoot?
