>13 Things Everyone Using the Internet Should Know > > 1. Big companies don't do business via chain letter. >Bill Gates is not giving you $1000, and Disney is not >giving you a free vacation. There is >no baby food company issuing class-action checks. MTV >will not give you backstage passes if you forward >something to the most people. >You can relax - there is no need to pass it on just in >case it's true. Furthermore, just because someone >said in the message, four generations >back, that we checked it out and it's legit,does not >actually make it true. > > 2. There is no kidney theft ring in New Orleans. No >one is waking up in a bathtub full of ice, even if a >friend of a friend swears it happened to >their cousin. If you are hell-bent on believing the >kidney-theft ring stories, please see: >http://urbanlegends.tqn.com/library/weekly/aa062997.htm > And I quote: The National Kidney Foundation has >repeatedly issued requests for >actual victims of organ thieves to come forward and >tell their stories. None have. That's none as in >zero. Not even your friend's cousin. > > 3. Neiman Marcus doesn't really sell a $200 cookie >recipe. And even if they do, we all have it. And even >if you don't, you can get a copy at: >http://www.bl.net/forwards/cookie.html Then, if you >make the recipe, decide the cookies are that awesome, >feel free to pass the recipe on. > > 4. We all know all 500 ways to drive your roommates >crazy, irritate coworkers, gross out bathroom stall >neighbors and creep out people on >an elevator. We also know exactly how many engineers, >college students, Usenet posters and people from each >and every world ethnicity it >takes to change a light bulb. > > 5. If the latest NASA rocket disaster(s) DID contain >plutonium that went to particulate over the eastern >seaboard, do you REALLY think >this information would reach the public via an AOL >chain-letter? > >6. There is no Good Times virus. In fact, you should >never, ever, ever forward any email containing any >virus warning unless you first confirm >it at an actual site of an actual company that >actually deals with viruses. Try: >http://www.norton.com And even then, don't forward >it. We >don't care. And you cannot get a virus from a flashing >IM or email, you have to download....ya know, like a >FILE > > 7. If your CC: list is regularly longer than the >actual content of your message, you're probably going >to Hell. > > 8. If you're using Outlook, I.E., or Netscape to >write email, turn off the HTML encoding. Those of us >on Unix shells can't read it, and don't >care enough to save the attachment and then view it >with a web browser,since you're probably forwarding us >a copy of the Neiman Marcus >Cookie Recipe anyway. > >9. If you still absolutely MUST forward that >10th-generation message from a friend, at least have >the decency to trim the eight miles of >headers showing everyone else who's received it over >the last 6 months. It sure wouldn't hurt to get rid of >all the +ACIAIg- (or the +ADw-) >that begin each line. Besides, if it has gone around >that many times - we've probably already seen >it. This is my favourite one. I'm not trying to be >rude everyone, but PLEASE LEARN HOW TO COPY AND PASTE > > >10. Craig Shergold (or Sherwood, or Sherman, etc.) in >England is not dying of cancer or anything else at >this time and would like everyone to >stop sending him their business cards. He apparently >is also no longer a little boy either. > >11. The Make a Wish foundation is a real organization >doing fine work, but they have had to establish a >special toll free hotline in response to >the large number of Internet hoaxes using their good >name and reputation. It is distracting them from the >important work they do. > >12. If you are one of those insufferable idiots who >forwards anything that promises something bad will >happen if you don't, then something >bad will happen to you if I ever meet you in a dark >alley. > > 13. Women really are suffering in Afghanistan, and >PBS and NEA funding are still vulnerable to attack >(although not at the present time) but >forwarding an email won't help either cause in the >least. If you want to help, contact your local >legislative representative, or get in touch with >Amnesty International or the Red Cross. > >As a general rule, email signatures are easily faked >and mean nothing to anyone with any power to do >anything about whatever the petition is >complaining about. (PS There is no bill pending before >Congress that will allow long distance companies to >charge you for long distance when >using the Internet.) > >Bottom Line ... composing Email or posting something >on the Net is as easy as writing on the walls of a >public restroom. Don't automatically >believe it unless it's proven true...ASSUME it's >false, unless there is proof that it's true. > >Got it? > >Good > >Now, COPY AND PASTE this message to ten friends and >you will win the Publishers Clearing House >sweepstakes, get your old girlfriend >back, get jumped by that hot chick you don't have guts >to say hi to, your car will run fine for the next ten >years even though your afraid to >check the oil cause you don't want to know how bad it >is, get that credit card to make your >bad credit worse, make that funny growth go away, and >so on. HE.. HE.. > Note from me : 1. It will be nicer (less time to open, less money to spend) if we can send e-mail with plain-text contain only, and no header-picture/image embedded into it. So, It would be better if we can compose the e-mail without any picture-header on it. For the Lotus Notes user, we can do that by setting the Letterhead to PLAIN TEXT. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Piksi-L merupakan mailing-list alumni asisten Piksi.
