Flame on!

Good God!  Has this stupid chain e-mail reared its head again?

I do wish people would learn to think critically before forewarding blather
such as this into the ether.

Go to www.snopes.com use the search engine, and read an analysis of this
particularly stupid missive.

Peter, take this flame as a learning experience to NEVER post crap like this
to the list.

Flame off.  We now return you to your normal blather, some of which is SHO
related.

Steve
