On the other side of that coin lies the FidoNews echo. :)

Seriously though, I've had all I can take with the mindless propogation(sp) of
fact-free chain letters.  If people would just stop for a second and THINK,
this crap wouldn't ever darken an inbox again.  People see something just
barely plausible and it's all, "run in circles, scream and shout!"
That of course is followed by, "Hurr!  Gotta forward dis to ebbyboddy!  Fear!
Fear!  It's onna interwebz, so it's gotta be true!!11!"

For years I tried being polite.  It was like talking to a wall.  The puppy just
grinned and continued to pee on the carpet (as it were).  Now I just bring out
the LART.  It's not nice, but dammit it certainly is effective!
