Are you one of those people mysteriously compelled by uncontrollable external forces to forward every email story that turns up in your Inbox??
I've got bad news...most of them are fake! (And there is no Santa, but that's a previous post).
For the sanity of your few thinking friends, who actually know how to use the internet, please check you story before sending it. This can be done at a variety of web sites.
Probably the best known is snopes.com . You can also use Urban Legends and Folklore, Hoaxbusters, Truth or Fiction or any others you can find.
If someone insists upon sending you bogus stories, reply with this link: Internet Soapbox
Better yet, click Reply to All, because invariably, people who forward these things leave the headers from the previous 37 forwards.
