I was wondering what one would say to that.  How do we address this?  What do we think of this.  I think this:  It's convoluted.



One of my self-imposed functions is netlore debunker.  How do I do this?  I read several columns on a site called About.com www.about.com.  There they have a gentleman by the name of David Emery, who posts his picture as well, and he tells the world which email lore and Urban Legends are true stories and which are rumors or flat out hoaxes.  They have a staff who researches this.  This was a smear tactic launched by who knows who in 1999 when she announced her run for Senate.  I do not, however, believe this is all true.  I'd need to have a link on here for some better sources.



I've seen too many pieces of netlore thought of as truth.  Some of my favorites: Coughing cures heart attacks, tampons contain asbestos and everyone's favorite: the dreaded stollen kidney.



This is a smear email and far above us, as a group.  Can we get past all this"?
