First of all, we shouldn't be posting any sort of political/religious/cultural things on this 
list, for whatever good/bad reasons. I feel very strongly about this. It happened a few 
times on the old list and it was never a good thing. If you want to post the sort of 
message Frank did, take the time to make up a list of people to whom you want to send it, 
and do it that way. Blanketing all of us is unfair and divisive. My opinion is that we should 
have an unwritten rule that we stay away from this stuff. It's not why we're here. Sorry, 
Frank, I feel you didn't do a wise thing. Send that sort of email back channel. If it's that 
important to you, make up a broadcast list.

Second, before you send out anything that is even remotely suspect, please check it on a 
site such as snopes.com. There is a lot of shit floating around out there on the net. I'm 
sure that everyone gets bulldoodie emails weekly. I've gotten caught passing this crap on 
almost too many times to count and I now make it a policy to check out everything. Also, 
the folks at Snopes are happy to investigate anything you come up with if they don't 
already know about it. People send out stupid or malicious or untrue things for whatever 
reasons they have, and I, for one, refuse to help them anymore. So before you send out 
that photo of an unsuspecting skin diving couple with the huge shark floating just behind 
them, do a little research and cut down on a bit of useless traffic on the Internet

My two cents.

Now, back to your usual show...

Good advice .. lesson learned. As I wrote previously, my apologies to  all.
