Comment: Denny Orvis got a message from your email address. There was not content in the message so he dismissed it. He sent me the address thinking I might know who you are. So, I'm writing to see if you are a '47 grad of Waverly High. If so, please respond. If not just disregard.

What is an episode of Doctor Who that snopes and his friends reenacted in his basement when he was 13. The video was "accidentally" destroyed in 1982.

Comment: Dear Barbara and David,

Are you Jewish by heritage or religion? I think it's important for any
source to disclose possible forms of bias. (And many religions, not just
that one, seem to be running us into the ground.)

Well, he surely wasn't afraid to disclose his biases... But I didn't know you received email from Mel Gibson...!

Out of curiosity, did anyone respond and explain to this guy how offensive (and scary) this email is?

How reliable is your information? Lies. All lies.
Do you have a political slant? Yes. We are anarcho-commi-nazis
Is there another service like yours? Yes, but they don't offer free massages like we do
How are you funded? Mainly through midget clown porn sales. Some donations. But mostly the midget clown porn.
Why do you do what you do? My brother starred in the movie Urban Legend. It ruined his career.
