Gullible People

I’m really taken aback by the number of people who are posting this alleged misdirected e-mail.

Okay, I’ll grant there is a remote chance it is legitimate, but it has all of the hallmarks of a hoax.

And yet dozens and dozens of people — especially the more-skeptical-than-thou webloggers — are posting this e-mail as if it must be true without any apparent attempt to verify it (a Google search on the individuals in the e-mail turns up nothing). It’s like it’s 1995 all over again.

What’s next? Are these folks going to be warning us about the Good Times virus? Gee, somebody sent it to them in an e-mail, it must be true.

Aaaargh.
