Comment: Thank you so much for existing! Just want to let you know how
much I depend on the information to alert others to misconceptions. It's
amazing how many years some fake thing can continue traveling the
internet!!!

Comment: Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!!

Your service is excellent to cut through the nonsense and lies on the
internet. I probably use your site at least once a week to dispell
rumors and then send the appropriate page to those who sent me the rumor.

Comment: I recently sent an email about a scam that I thought was new.
Your prompt reply to the submission and the second email on locating your
article regarding the scam was greatly appreciated. It is nice to find
someone who reads and promptly replies to mail in this day and age. And of
course, I did not research your site well enough the first time. The
article did answer my questions when I found it. I forwarded a link to
snopes.com to the person who sent me the email. Your site is a wonderful
reference in trying to educate the boobs who think that everything sent to
them is real and forward it to everyone they know.

Thank you again and keep up the excellent work.

Comment: Just wanted to thank you both again for the work you do here on
this site. I wish more people would read this BEFORE sending stupid,
malicious emails!!! I ALWAYS look here first and have strongly suggested
to my friends and familly that they do the same!
Thanks again

Comment: I must congratulate you on the thoroughness of your information.
I really respect what you present.
I often reply to the people who forward emails to me that sound suspicious
or may not be completely true. I tell them to go to your site to get the
best information available, even if the email may say that snopes.com has
confirmed the information.

Comment: Thank you so much for this site. I use it all the time to check
emails I get. It is invaluable!

Comment: Dear Snopes,

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY
TIMES I HAVE WANTED TO TELL PEOPLE OFF WHO SEND OUTRAGEOUS THINGS THROUGH
EMAIL THAT ARE TOTALLY OR PARTIALLY INCORRECT. I ALWAYS REFER TO SNOPES
AND , INSTEAD OF SENDING A MEAN OR NASTY REPLY, I JUST FORWARD A SNOPES
ARTICLE. THAT STOPS THEM DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS! I ESPECIALLY LOVE SNOPES
WHEN I RECEIVE SOME POLITICALLY ORIENTED EMAIL THAT I DO NOT AGREE WITH
THE POSITION. I FIND THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE AGAINST ONE THING OR ANOTHER TRY
TO INCITE OTHERS TO BELIEVE AS THEY DO BY CIRCULATING FALSEHOODS, HALF
TRUTHS AND LIES. SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT EVEN KNOW THEY ARE SENDING
INCORRECT INFORMATION. SNOPES IS MY "GO TO" INFORMATION CENTER WHEN I DO
NOT FEEL LIKE DOING ALL THE RESEARCH MYSELF! I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED A
TOPIC WHERE SNOPES HAS BEEN WRONG! THANK YOU AGAIN FOR BEING THERE. YOU
HAVE SAVED ME FROM GETTING INTO MANY AN ARGUMENT WITH IGNORANCE! I LOVE
SNOPES!

Comment: I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!!! I DO NOT click 'forward' until I have
checked with Snopes first.

thanks for keeping the world in check :)

Comment: Hi Snopes folks, You have a fantastic service--able to debunk all
the crazy(but believeable and alarming) stuff that comes to our mailboxes
every day. Most recently for me, how cell phones were so powerful that
they could pop popcorn (looked so authentic, I believed it and forwarded
it on without checking it out. Duh!) I tell everyone to use your wonderful
site, especially before sending me more "junk." Thanks again.

Four Kitties 18 March 2010 12:29 PM

Comment: I am very grateful for your service. I hope you will remain a
source of truth and clarity.

Four Kitties 18 March 2010 04:13 PM

Comment: Thank God for you. Thank God. I am beside myself with crap
about health care from the right wing. Awful. I keep referring them to
you all.

I appreciate your doing God's work here.

Four Kitties 18 March 2010 09:17 PM

Comment: i love your site, use it fairly often to check out e-mails i get.
Frankly, if I had more free time, it would be fun to "rummage" thru the
site and read bits and pieces here and there, you have such fun stuff on
the site!! Thanks for the site, love it.

Comment: I just heard an interview with the Mikkelsons on NPR. I didn't
realize the history behind Snopes. Thanks you for doing this for us. I
just wish people would use your web site more often. I use it a lot to
check what people send me and reply with a link to your site, if the infor
mation is FALSE. i sometimes receive a reply saying "So What!" I can't
believe that people have so little regard for the truth. Please keep up
your good work.Ithe truth is important and I guess I'll continue to annnoy
people with my replies.

Four Kitties 20 March 2010 09:47 PM

Comment: Just heard you on WNPR and please do not stop this wonderful
site. I can not tell you how often I have used your information to
respond to absurd email "facts". I not only send the information to the
person that contacted me but I use Replay all, so that anyone that person
sent the email to will see the truth from Snopes.

I find it amazing what people will believe wtihout question. The emails
just scream "check me out before sending me on" but people just do not
listen.

Thanks again. I never really gave any thought to the people behind the
site and now I will send you a mental thank you whenever I use it.

Four Kitties 20 March 2010 11:14 PM

Comment: just heard the report about you on npr's all things considered.
never imagined it was just two people doing all this! thank you so much
for all your hard work. i probably use snopes at least every week. i have
been know to browse just for enjoyment as well! really, can't convey how
much i appreciate all you do.

Four Kitties 20 March 2010 11:53 PM

Comment: Just heard you guys on NPR-- SO GREAT!

Thank you for what you do, and for being so good AT what you do.

Four Kitties 21 March 2010 12:16 AM

Comment: What a wonderful report on NPR! Thanks folks! I figured you were
a corporation!

Four Kitties 21 March 2010 12:50 AM

Comment: It was such a treat to hear your voices on NPR. Now when I visit
SNOPES I will read your words and hear YOU GUYS telling me the tales.
Thank you so very much for your wonderful site. Enjoy those cats and
rats!

Four Kitties 21 March 2010 01:40 AM

Comment: Thank you for this site. I have checked a number of times when
friends forward questionable stories. Your work has set some of them
straight.
Thanks again.

Four Kitties 21 March 2010 02:36 AM

Comment: David and Barbara,
I just listened to the special feature today on Snopes broadcast on my
local NPR station. I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do. It's
nice to have your voices and imagine your office, by the graces of your
cats, in my mind when I log on. It was a wonderful piece, albeit too
short.

Best Regards. Keep up the fight for truth. In the end, there is nothing
more important.
