I suspect that people who want the buzz of being the bearer of feel-good stories are the ones who pass them on, and maybe are the ones who create them. ( And I am NOT including you, in that, Dan!) Over the years I have gotten a number of emails like this one - usually from family or good friends - and I always try to be gentle when I break the news that 'tain't true. Unless there is a certain aggressiveness attached - then I'm not so gentle. :)
