[Coco] Where to check for false information - Off Topic

[James Hrubik]

But take even the replies of snopes with a grain (or spoon, or cup)  
of salt.
Occasionally their replies are more politically correct than  
factually correct.   Same with :

Usually people sending chain emails do so without thinking.  They  
believe they are performing a public service.
My general policy is the DEL key; I rarely forward anything that  
looks like a chain email.
