I did just that (reply all) with this exact email two days ago. The original sender must not have noticed that, because he replied to me asking for info on how I knew it was false, even though it had kernels of truth. I pointed him to the correct Snopes link, as well as to a few other sites that correct falsehoods or help fight the fictions (like this here forum, Gun Rights Radio, Tom Gresham, Oleg Volk's site, etc.)Mike1951 wrote: And it's even more suspect if it claims to have been verified by Snopes. They include this so you won't check for yourself.
Besides http://www.snopes.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , the other site I use is http://www.truthorfiction.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; .
I almost always reply to the sender, but I won't embarrass the sender by using 'reply all'.
Maybe I should!
I got a nice note from him the next day that was copied to everyone else he sent the original to, thanking me for the correct information, and also encouraging all those he sent the note to to look more closely next time too.
I was even nice this time - something I haven't always been when bombarded by this kind of crap.
Thanks for the truthorfiction link - I'll have to look it up!
