Greetings!

I would rather that people *verified* their information before passing 
it on.  Passing on false warnings contributes to the problem of people 
not paying attention to real ones.

It's not that hard to verify a story now-a-days, what with the Web being 
so handy to use.  All it takes is a little searching among either the 
search engines or the wire services to find out if someone died of snake 
bite at a Burger King, or had their Kidneys removed in a bathtub in a 
hotel, or want to break the world's record for greeting cards, or if the 
cancer foundation is magically donating $0.03 for every e-mail address 
you forward this too.

If the story doesn't contain verifiable details and a solid source, 
don't pass it on. If it does, check out those details and the source 
before passing it on.  That's my opinion.
