Comment: All I have to say is, "Thank You!" I receive so much junk
e-mail. Some are so outlandish, they are hard to believe. I always check
with Snopes.com before I pass along to others. If the content of the
e-mail offends, irritates or is harmful to someone's reputation or
character, or is an out and out lie, I forward your Snopes.com article
back to the sender. Some people get so bent our of shape over false
information, when all they have to do is check with Snopes.com. Again,
thank you for being there.

Comment: Hello Snopes,

You guys are great. I am a skeptic by nature and I hate chain emails.
Everytime I get one I go to your site and email the sender your link. Well
done.

Thanks

Comment: I have to admit, I love your site. I can't tell you how many
times I've gotten an e-mail about something someone did, or someone was
taken, etc. and I've come here to determine how legit the e-mail is. It
helps me do my part in stopping the e-mails that are not true and to pass
on the ones that are.

Keep up the good work

Comment: thank you for debunking so many internet myths. It would be hard
to know what to believe otherwise. Some are very convincing and ordinary
people like me need a good resource to verify material.

Thanks again!

Comment: I am so disturbed by the degree of rumor mongering. I'd like to
be in touch with more people sensible enough to check facts before bashing
the world around us.

Especially in the realms of politics and religion, this behavior is so
damaging.

Thank you for running this site of sensibility.

Comment: Read about you in Readers Digest and really enjoyed hearing about
your history. I've really trusted the information that you provide and I'm
now more impressed.

Comment: Hi...just wanted you to know that I discovered your site years
ago (6 or 7 maybe?) and was fascinated. I immediately read through all of
the "common" urban legends (murderer leaves hook on car door) that I had
grown up on and moved on to the Disney legends from there.

When I started working in IT full-time, I relied on your research into
hoaxes to educate my users on why they shouldn't automatically believe and
forward everthing they see in their inbox.

You've been a great resource and I'd like to thank you for that. I loved
the article in Reader's Digest. My husband and I also work from opposite
ends of our home and have 3 dogs and 4 cats. I may try the post-it method
of communication as well!

Best of luck to you both and keep up the great work!

Comment: I just wanted to thank you guys for having this website. I've
been snoping my friends & family for years, and was just able to bring
another forward re: John Hopkins cancer research down for the count. You
guys are great, and I appreciate the research you do, in order for our
email inbox's to be filled of truth, and not the lies people forward.
thanks!!!!!

Comment: Hello,

I just wanted to let you both know that I think what you do is great. It
is really nice to have somewhere to refer to when emails keep piling up in
my inbox. I always check most anything that I get on Snopes. Keep up the
great work and thanks for sorting out the rumers that people come up with.
Sometimes I have to wonder where they come up with this stuff at. Thanks
again.

Comment: Dear Mr and Mrs Mikkelson,

I came across Snopes.com after reading the article in the reader's digest.
I am amazed at your work. What you are really doing is educating people
and it is akin to social service. In this age of instant messaging, it is
important to educate the public to be more skeptical and rational (not to
say that we didn't need it in the past!). Please keep up your good work.

Comment: i just wanted you to know that i so appreciate your site! there
are so many emails that come through with dire warnings and unfortunately
most seem to be false or misguided at best. i am thankful for a place to
go to confirm or negate these emails. if everyone would use your site, we
could put an end to these erroneous emails. i know people have good
intentions when they pass things on, but they are just being lazy if they
don't take the time to check it out for themselves before passing it
along! thanks and keep up the good work!

Comment: I just want to express my appreciation for this site which
defrocks many of the postural and often biggotted and xenophobic emails
circulating ad nauseam about the internet.

Comment: Greetings Mr. & Mrs. Snopes! =)

Just wanted to let you know that I read the article about the two of you
in Readers' Digest and was totally amazed! I assumed you were a whole
network of researchers, and all I can say is WOW. I'm So impressed, and
must admit I'm a bit jealous, too. What an awesome and interesting way to
make a living. Great job, and please keep it up!

Have a great week. Happy researching! lol

Comment: Thank you for your wonderful site. I have used it over the years
and wanted to take the time to let you know how much it is appreciated. As
payback I do note your sponsors and try to use their products. Keep up the
great work.

Comment: I just wanted to tell you guys, that Im sooo glad you are here!
I've gotten so many emails with 'things going on', 'people said this',
'you could die!' content, and I get all panicky and don't know which way
to turn. But I always look you guys up and test it out and I usually feel
alot better. Thanks for all you do, and keep up the great work!

Comment: Just want to say thanks. Your site is invaluable for squelching
countless rumors-misrepresentations, half truths, etc.-all sent to arouse
fear and hate, and preventing work on real problems!
