I applaud your public spirit in wanting to help all of us out, but this message has all the trappings of a hoax: + It uses lots of emotionally charged language. + It gives few specifics. + It is essentially impossible to verify: it does not give contact information for the original author, names of victims, perpetrators, or investigating bodies. There is no URL for further information. + It has no date. + It implores the readers to pass it on to everybody they know. Hoaxes are a form of computer virus: they use unsuspecting readers to replicate and transmit the hoax. For more information on hoaxes, see http://istpub.berkeley.edu:4201/bcc/Nov_Dec98/gen.hoax.html http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html I know that you wanted to help, but I get approximately 80 messages per day. Please do not send me any other mass-mailings in the future unless you check them out carefully yourself. Thank you!
