yeah, and maybe they could add a special text string so that it gets tracked as
to the number of times it gets sent around, and some wealthy billionaire will
contribute a nickel for each and every time it was sent to this kids hospital
fund.... it's not far from it

what i'm getting at is that there's so much of this type of stuff just floating
around and everyone just clicking on the forward button because it seems like a
worthy post .... is it real ? who knows ? i'm not going to take the time to find
out, especially since it been forwarded sooo many times that one - well, it
looks like it might be real, but two- no one has ever cared to clean it up and
its rather difficult to read.

it just gets frustrating when you see similar stuff that's typical hoax/chain
mail getting forwarded around in your regular mail, it shouldn't get posted to a
list, but if it did, i'd at least hope that it was a firsthand post or at least
the poster verified it.
