The Lisbon Reporter‏ from a reader

Mr. Hall,
 
I am shocked by your question and will assume it was rhetorical.
 
Just kidding Dean, don't doc me points ... 
 
However this brings up a good point - Readers need to remember 
the Lisbon Reporter is a BLOG, a Web Log, not a news agency, 
they simply pass on information from readers in an effort to 
keep the other readers informed.
 
To assist those who would like to check their facts before they 
post them, I offer the following sites to start with:
 
http://www.snopes.com/
http://factcheck.org/
http://www.urbanlegends.com/
 
These are but three of the many sites on the world wide web you can 
use to check the information.
 
If something sounds too good ... Or too bad ... to be true, use the
tool you have right here in front of you.  If nothing else, use 
www.google.com and see what pops up.
 
Happy surfing - Gregg Garrison
