Now and then, I respond to an acquaintance's forwarded e-mail rumor with a link to the appropriate snopes page. I don't think I've made many converts to the cause of truth, though.
It is so easy to fact-check a rumor these days. Why in the world doesn't that seem to matter?
Actually, there is frankly no need to bother with snopes. If it uses ALL CAPS in the subject line and urges you to forward it to everyone you know, I promise that it is false.
