Hoax post
I wish people would stop sending me emails warning me of this and the other, without checking whether it’s genuine or just a hoax. I know people mean well, but it’s irritating, like those chain emails people send (incidentally, nothing’s ever happened to me as a result of deleting them without forwarding them on). It means I have to check on Snopes whether it’s a hoax or not, and then reply to them to tell them it’s a hoax, including the link to Snopes, as proof. I’m hoping people will get the hint.
If it is valid, like one I received not long ago about dubious deliveries, then people should include the link to Snopes, if there is one, so you can see straight away that it’s valid. If Snopes haven’t got any information about it, then they should be informed.
Rant over.
