Re: RC: Re: warning ...bogus horse transport co.

I agree, Louise
I've seen everything from Colonel Sanders now using chicken mutants to
politicians quoted as saying they're satanic all on the internet and
most of it is a bunch of hooey and very damaging. Thanks to one reply to
my forward (although I have to say it wasn't very nicely phrased) I now
check my info with http://www.snopes.com  but the problem here is that
you cannot verify the info with anyone. I would think some folks would
have a good case for slander. Never-the-less, it would be nice to be
warned if there truly is a problem and profit from each others'
mistakes. Perhaps in the future it could be phrased "There MIGHT be a
problem with #$@ and you might want to check out references first." Then
people could respond. And it should never be about salary--- too many
variables there for me.
