Wesley, I respect your efforts, but I would be interested in knowing whether any of the people who sent out the original email (1) reply to you by apologizing for the error and thanking you for setting them straight; or (2) forward your information to the people they originally sent the lying message to.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I'm a pessimist about this sort of thing.

"A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes."

Mark Twain said that, or something like it.
