FWIW....
This is an email from the owner of Snopes.com via the Urban-legends yahoo
group that they started and moderate. I've been a member of that group for
about ten years -- give or take -- and this is what she was sending out
this fall whenever their motives and backgrounds were being questioned.
I will warn that the gist of the links deal with the political aspects of
the recent election , but the article also delve into a bit of their
background. PLEASE don't read the articles and then come back here to debate
the politics. I just thought I'd pass along what comes from Snopes. Which,
in a way is ironic in itself lol.
