TO: CASI NON-MAILING LIST (ADMIN) MEMBERS TO: CASILIST MEMBERS This is the final time I am going to state CASI's policy on forwarding Internet Hoaxes. For those of you who no longer participate in this type of thing I aplogize that you have to hear this rant. My email box is filling with dozens of these each week. Please do not bother our organization with these off-subject hoaxes. If these continue to get forwarded to me or the CASILIST I am going to consider it grounds for dismissal from CASI anyone who is participating in them. I have received hundreds of these messages during my 8 years on the Internet and NEVER has any message that did not originate from someone I know personally been true. Each one of these messages is perpetrated by people who would like to bring down the Internet with wastes of bandwidth by fooling naive Internet users. PLEASE I beg of you read this site below which is an official site regarding the fact that all of these types of messages are HOAXES. This includes EVERY claim of computer or human virii that you have ever been forwarded. If you cannot find the subject of your forwarded message on this site, then please search http://www.cnn.com or http://www.cnet.com for the information before forwarding it ANYWHERE. CNN is not going to "miss" a worldwide epedemic, trust me. http://urbanlegends.miningco.com/ -- ============================================================== Jesse Ferrell - Meteorologist/Web Dev. - j{at}weatherwatchers.org Central Atlantic Storm Investigators - www.weatherwatchers.org
