Tantrum Entitled much?

Comment: Why does your site make it impossible to print just part of an
article? I want to copy the WD 40 uses as set out by the manufacturer - I
don't want to print the entire LONG article. I'm really disappointed in
my inability to do this.

We're really disappointed in your inability to copy-and-paste the text you want into Wordpad (or a similar program), and print it.

Comment: IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME FOR YOU OR SOMEONE NEAR YOU TO DO IT FOR ME RATHER THAN SENDING BACK THE REPLY TELLING ME TO DO IT MYSELF WHEN I ASKED YOU TO DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHAT IS THE POINT OF RESPONDING TO SOMETHING WHEN I POLIETLY ASKED YOU TO DO IT. THANKS FOR DOING YOUR JOB BUT A MONKEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER.

I think the monkey wrote the advert himself.

Also I note that the advert does not specify how many bedrooms or bathrooms the monkey has.

Quote:
Type: monkey
For Sale or Rent:
Price or Monthly Rent: $1800
Bedrooms:
Bathrooms:

Comment: How long does it take to get a response to a question regarding a rumor about which one has inquired?

Before submitting the question, I had already done several searches about
the rumor, using different criteria, and no information on that particular
query turned up at all.

Comment: I am very disappointed in Snopes. I sent an article that was not
shown in your Search Engine and all I got was a reply telling me to use
the Search Engine. Don't you think I have enough sense to check before
sending you something. Since it was an auto-reply, probably no one even
read the article I sent. I certainly won't bother to send anything in the
future. Maybe I'll just use Truth or Fiction in the future......although
they didn't have anything about this particular email either.

Comment: These are websites that references the quote from bush about the
constitution being just a GD piece of paper. Why won't you address this?
Do you just work on things that favor the President? I have asked about
this before but you obviously aren't interested.

I think this post best explains snopes' position on replying to e-mails such as yours.

Let me guess. You registered at 11:59 last night, and sent this e-mail at 12:01 this morning.

Your god-damn password is beelzebub666, but can only be activated at midnight, after you have sacrificed a virgin.

Comment: I am in 8th grade and my science fair is coming up. My idea was
to do a myth. I have been looking all over the internet for myths to do
but many of the them just won't work because they are untestable, and even
though Snopes has a lot of myths I can't use them because the cite
specifies whether they are true or not and that ruins the whole point of
testing. So if you could send me a list of testable myths that would
really help.
