What I still do get are passionate chain emails about supposed congressional bills that never actually existed or urgent social issues that are either hoaxes or long past. Usually they're messages that have been bouncing around the internet since the 1990s. In these cases I don't check the spelling but I do fact-check them and write back to the sender asking them to 1) do some basic checking before getting people riled up over nothing, and 2) stop sending them to me.


Oh yes, I do that as well. I wish everybody would.
