I sent out an email to most of you yesterday that was untrue. I would like to apologize for that...sorry!
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

A couple of our members checked with snopes.com and they said it was a false accusation. Oh well, we can't be right all the time. If that's the worst mistake we make, we'll be okay

And they were right, Billy. I checked on hoaxbusters and it's listed there as well. Somebody must have had a bone to pick with Starbucks to even start something like that.

Lol I was reading that email while this page was loading. As I too was checking Snopes first I saw this thread.
My corporate job deals with this type of stuff every day. I have been part of the "world wide web" as it was called back in 1990 when we had dial up and IRC/IRQ bulletin boards. These types of stories were prevelant then. I learned long ago..when in doubt don't send out. Then they came up with bulletin boards called snopes.com and truthorfiction.com. So when in doubt check those sites before you send off the emails. While I'm on a tangent here..want to help control spam? when you send an email to several people, never put their email addresses in the To or CC line. Always put yourself in the To line and everyone else in the BCC line. This hides the email addresses of everyone you sending it to. How does this work? You send an email to me and 25 others and lump everyone into the To line. John Doe who was put into that To line has a virus and/or spyware on his pc. That virus/spyware then grabs all the emails in the To line and starts sending stuff out to them. But if you put yourself in the To line and everyone else in the BCC line the virus/spyware can't see them and thus cannot populate that way. Just a bit of FYI ▼
Thanks Denise, for sharing great advice.
