    This has been going around for a while. It's probably an urban legend.

    A tip to everyone--whenever you're asked to pass it on to everyone, DON'T! Most of them are hoaxes or someone trying to "farm" e-mail addresses.

    I have been around long enough to realize lbrown59 doesn't have a clue, usually just cute one line commentary.I believe he is going for mass postings for quantity....not quality. I'm sure he will have one for this to, but it is my opinion.Have a good one!

    Cindy, I agree with you. This is a board for exchanging information, not for posting all the spam e-mail he gets. I guess he doesn't have a life or a clue. I try hard to keep spam out of my e-mail, then I have to come here and see all the same crap.

    And before you call me a donkey, I have BOTH a high IQ AND lots of friends.

    Hedwig, you've nailed him. :)

    Cindy, you're in good company -- I'm his other donkey. I doubt he even read your link, and I'm not surprised he didn't at least acknowledge the fact that he's posted nonsense again.

    Cindy, I like those links. I'll keep them handy for when I need to take out some frustrations!
