Ok, ok, the ABOVE FCC website was even listed in the hoax. Maybe the
hoaxster simply wanted to show that it's easy to be prompted to mail
something on without checking its validity. The American Cancer Society
has a page on its website dealing with such hoaxes that name it. But,
on the other hand, a major publisher does promote e-mail hysteria each
year with its Polar Express Share the Spirit Campaign (which has ENDED
again, and for which it should be condemned* IMHO), which generates many
tardy "please send email to help the children and pass it on" requests
-- http://www.polarexpress.com/ *I say, get your checkbook out instead
and send $ to your local charity.
