Volks, sorry but it has come to my attention that there has been a hoax passed about, according to Barbara (Stickle) Hall, a blouse tail relitive of mine.

Tyrone Big Pine Key, FL 87 Van. GL Syncro etc., etc., etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subject: HOAX Re: Terminal Cancer HOAX

Practically every email circulating that offers money, warns of viruses, or encourages you to forward it is a HOAX. This one included. They prey on our good will and good wishes for our friends. Many are just a nuisance, but others actually cause harm.

Certainly this one asks us to treasure life in ourselves and others. But is also tells us to carbon copy to American Cancer Society. ACS has to waste time from legitimate work weeding through these mailings.

Please check these out instead of forwarding. There are several reputable internet web sites that stay current on viruses, hoaxes and chainletters.

Try the US Dept. of Energy Computer Incident Advisory Capability: http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACChainLetters.html http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html

or do a search. I'm sure even AOL or Compuserve servers would have legitimate information on viruses and chainletters.

Thanks for your attention.....!
