Comment: Thank you for years of information. I am staggered at the depth
and accuracy of your research. My wife and I wish you a very Merry
Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

[Four Kitties]

Comment: THANK YOU!

I rarely stop to think how I take many things that are so readily on the
web. Your site is a true wonder of the information age. I can't remember
how many times I have used your site to dispell the trash that is sent to
discredit so many things and people. I have on many occasions replied to
the senders and their other email intendees that they should check with
this site before accepting a great many things that sound too good to be
true or at the other end of the spectrium so outragious and inflamatory
toward others.

I truly hope that this and other sites like this will remain avalible as
they are now and in the future.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN

Comment: Just wanted to wish you all the most joyous of holidays: merry
Christmas, happy Hanukkah, blessed Kwanzaa, and all the best in the New
Year, as, as always, you've provided us and ours hours & hours of happy
clicking onto the site, and the resulting reaping of a bounteous harvest
of absolutely terrific information this year. (Sorry for the
purple-patchy prose, but ya'll are THE BEST!)

Comment: Your website has opened a new world....thank you.

[Four Kitties]

Comment: I just want you to know that I love your site and I frequent it
almst daily. Especially when I get a forward of something that seems
ridiculous.

I have to admit, I fell for the Mr. Ed thing. I thank you for doing that.
As many people blindly follow and believe internet forwards, I did the
same with your site. To think, someone with a degree in history not fact
checking or reading the whole thing. My diploma weeps in the corner.

Please, keep up the great work! If you ever need any freelance help,
Indiana can get quite boring!

Thanks!

Comment: I've enjoyed stumbling upon your site. I'm inundated with heart
wrenching emails all the time and have grown very skeptical of my
Christian friends who lack the most basic critical thinking skills.
I now reply to their emails with a link to your site.
Good work. Thanks.

Comment: This site is incredible! I don't know how many times I have been
scared to death by an email, only to discover it is a hoax! Whoever
thought of this site is BRILLANT!! Thank you!!!

[Four Kitties]

Have a very Happy New Year Barbara. Will look forward to reading all that's
new on Snopes for 2007.
It's a great site. I always go to it when I receive a forward from someone,
because most of what I receive sound like they're off the wall. You all do a
wonderful job. Thank you for all the work involved to keep us all informed.
If there were no Snopes we would believe everything we read!

Comment: I want to take a moment at the end of this year to thank YOU for
taking the time to dispell some of the stupid urban legends that folks try
to circulate via email.

It's so nice to be able to go to your site, click on an urban legend and
email that to my friends who are so danged gullible, that they believe
just about anything.

It's nice also to be able to see which legends are actually the truth,
such as the "Let's say thanks" campaign.

Keep up the good work!! I personally appreciate all that you do.

[Four Kitties]

Comment: Have enjoyed your urban legends writeups all of 2006 and look
forward to another year. Thanks for all your efforts. You needn't reply to
this, since I know you must stay busy. Just wanted to let you know your
work is appreciated.

Comment: Hi there,

I just wanted to send an email to say how much I love your site. I hate
chain mails and I constantly wonder how people can believe some of the
crazy stuff strangers write. Whenever I get a chain mail I check it out
on your site first, if it is a hoax (and so far all of them have been) I
forward the senders a link to your site.

Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work!

Comment: I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the service
you do with this website. When I first started surfing the internet, about
eight or nine years ago, I would forward all sorts of junk. One day I got
a return message from a friend, with your url enclosed; I had sent him a
forwarded email that was a hoax, and he was telling me how he checks the
veracity of the things he would receive.

Today I got a message from my sister telling me what a bunch of crooks we
have in congress, so I looked up the subject on Snopes (NBA OR NFL?),
copied the url, and sent it to my sister, along with the admonition to do
a little homework before she routinely sends out the next false rumor she
receives. I also suggested she forward MY message to the people who sent
her the hoax.

Again, thank you! I use your website several times a week, and I have
found it very easy to navigate, and extremely handy!

Happy New Year to you and yours!

Comment: Thank you for all the good work you do.

I do enjoy reading your commentaries (and explanations) ... breathes a bit
of common sense into some pretty outrageous claims.

Your research is top-notch.

[Four Kitties]

Comment: Thank you for a WONDERFUL resource. I've referred hundreds of
people to your website, mostly for disputing and/or verifying their
"claims". I've used this site 6 times already this week.

Thanks again!!!

Comment: Dear Barbara:

I don't often write to fellow journalists (I figure you have enough to do
just trying to cover these stories) but in your case I feel you've earned
a well-deserved Thank You for all your hard work this year.

99% of comments on the web shows little if any thinking. I greatly admire
your ability to succinctly summarize even the most volatile story in a
non-partisan way with clear logic. Wow.

Thanks again for your absolutely invaluable website. I continually
reference it on the Computer Outlook radio talk show as a Must Have
bookmark.

Comment: Dear Snoops,

I love you! Thank you for helping me not to make a fool of myself by
taking part in passing on false information to my friends and family. The
distruction that is caused by all the false emails is incalculable. You
do a great service.

May you be as blessed as Google.

Your website is the BEST - #1 on my list. I send all my friends to your
site - especially when they send me one of those "IT'S TRUE!!!" Emails -
it's a nice way to give them a mental "slap" and make them think before
forwarding garbage!

[Four Kitties]

Comment: I love you guys; you do an awesome job explaining an internet
hoax or panic, and I love your style of writing. It's to the point,
logical, straightforward - congratulations on a job well done.

[Four Kitties]

Comment: Thank you for having such a site available to the public.

Comment: Thank you for this site!!!!! It has done wonders for me being
able to cut down on the rumor mill. Especially with my elderly Mom
believing it all.
