Sorry, I have to disagree with my peach tree lawyer friend.  It is not
better to 'pass along something'.  All we learned from this is that it was a
hoax.

Panics, depressions [sorry, recessions] personal slander, and really bad
jokes get going this way.  There are circumstances in which a false warning
is better than none [look out! a grenade! qualifies] but this isn't one, and
most situations aren't, IMHO.
