Several corespondents that have been particularly guilty of forwarding this kind of junk to their entire mailing list, have now started sending it to me first with the question "Is this one real." They got tired of me replying with corrections and put-downs so I've become their "Snopes" authority.
I've resorted to Snopes in the past, also. I especially like it when I dealing with one of the relatives who spout "Bush lied about WMD" ... I send 'em to snopes and tell them to search on Clinton, Democrats and WMD. It shuts 'em up for awhile.
Jesus loves you, Ed. But that durned Bill Gates still hasn't given me my new computer like that one email said he would that I forwarded to 10 friends (well, 10 people I had email addresses for).

I just delete 'em all. And as far as I can tell, Jesus still loves me... as much as he ever did.
