Comment: I just wanted to say thanks. Your website is great!
My motto is:
I God we trust, everyone else gets snopes-ed.
Thanks.

Comment: Just read the article about Snopes in the April 2009 edition of
Reader's Digest by clicking on the link on your site. Love the article.
I had no idea how you guys do what you do. You do great work. I go to
your site everytime I get an e-mail I'm not sure about before I go sending
it on. You've saved my behind several times and I thank you! Keep up the
great work!

Comment: Was happy to read such a positive article about you guys in
April's Reader's Digest. I exasperate so many of my friends who send me
junk when I write them back with a link from your site after I have
"snoped" what they have sent me. Some people out there would like to
discredit you guys. I'm glad Reader's Digest brought you to the fore so
more people will take you seriously.

Comment: I first became aware of your site when googling a spurious story
(plastics-in-the-micro memo alledgedly from Walter Reed & Johns Hopkins)
some years ago.
Since then I've checked veracity with you 2 or 3 times a year, but
frequently it doesn't occur to me. So, today I've added snopes to my
"Favorites" in hopes of reminding myself to use your site more often.
All this to say Thanks from Toronto.

Comment: Love your site - everytime someone sends me a "warning" or issues
any other type of strange information, I immediately come to this site to
verify what is true and what isn't. Thank you for such in-depth
information on hoaxes and scams - it is extremely helpful!!

Comment: I just read about you in this months Readers Digest. All this
time I have assumed it was a large business that verified all of these
rumors.

I use your site almost daily to verify emails I receive. I work with a
group of women who seem to be very fearful and gullible. I love being able
to put their fears to rest with your research.

Thanks for the wonderful work you do.

Comment: I just wanted to send a quick message to thank you guys for what
you're doing with this site. I have used it for years, but lately my
sister-in-law has felt it very important to inform her whole address book
about the latest government plot, poison scare, alien abduction and gang
random violence warning that she gets. I've made a habit of replying to
everyone with a link to your site debunking all of her emails but she
keeps sending them.

At any rate, thanks. You're doing a lot of good by keeping stupid
internet rumors at bay. I appreciate it.

Comment: I just wanted to send another Thank-you to the people at Snopes
for providing much needed and enjoyable reading. The artice which inspired
this note has to do with Update # 407 which tells the story of a statue
with a tear drop delivered to New York a few years ago. This was something
I wasn't aware of and I e-mailed the article to several of my friends as
I'm sure they were unaware, also. Goes to show, Snopes isn't just about
sorting out true or false tales of killer viruses. It's an informative
site all round! Thank you once again!

Comment: I just want to say thank you for having this website available.
Recently I was emailed 2 different articles which made it seem immediate
death could result! I just had a check to investigate a little more. And I
couldnt have done it without you. Thank you so much for doing these
investigations.

Comment: Barbara:

I got my Snopes newsletter today and read up on you in RD; interesting!!!
I must tell you that I rely on your site frequently. I've even had
friends asking me to "check out" some e-mail thingy and I never hestitate
to send them the appropriate link. Come to think of it, I don't hestitate
to send the link even if the sender DOESN'T ask for it...any little thing
I can do to help! You two do a wonderful service with all your hard work
and up-to-date information. It never fails to amaze me - the crappola
that people will not hesitate to believe and forward. You guys are the
cat's meow, as far as I'm concerned. Keep up the great - and invaluable -
work.

Comment: Thank you, Thank You! THANK YOU!!! For what the two of you do.
Have been a huge fan of your site for years. I refer SO MANY people to
your site each day (after receiving their fwd.fwd.fwd.fwd.fwd (you get the
idea) emails of utter lunacy. I just LOVE having a RELIABLE source to
send them to in order to attempt to STOP THE INSANITY. It's actually
worked with several of these SERIAL SENDERS. Ahhh, peace returns to my
messy desk...
There are still the delusional few who insist on sending even after I've
point them to your WONDERFUL SITE, and respond back and let me know, "Well
it might not be true, but better safe than sorry." For these people, I
just give up, block sender, and hope that they are not making plans to
have children.
Thank you again and I hope that you continue to enjoy your hunt for
facts!!!

Comment: Re: Reader's Digest Article
Amazed by the Snopes site and more amazed now that I know two people are
able to accomplish it! Bet the cats help, though. Thank you--use it all
the time.

Comment: Great job! I especially appreciate Barbara's color commentary
Mikkelson's color commentary description included in her signature.

Thanks for the site. Seems as though it's working for you.

Comment: We enjoyed the Readers Digest article this month! You are
fabulous - we have been using your site for ages. Every mass e-mail I
get, I check on your site - and it's there! Thank you, thank you. This
morning I got the "cell phone ringing that pops corn" e-mail. Looked so
authentic. But over to Snopes, and you tell us it's a hoax. Thank you so
very much. We truly appreciate all your efforts, we know that you do so
much research. We are indebeted to you. I am such a skeptic, and you
answer all my doubts!
