Comment: I just want to say - having your site to refer to consistently - rather than buy in to all the "Suspected" plots and hoaxes - keeps me sane - Thanks for a great site!

Comment: I have checked your site out here and there for fun things and of course to check out some of those outrageous e-mail claims and enjoyed it immensely. The last two days, I have been home with the flu and spent way too much time on snopes! I just wanted to say thanks for spending the time to do this web site. It is fun and so informative. I'm almost through with every article and now feel like a walking e-mail in a lot of ways!!! I just won't bother to fwd myself to 10 friends in hopes of winning the lottery! Thanks again and keep up the good work.

Comment: I love Snopes.com. Thank you so much for this service. I check out all of those forwarded emails and am constantly letting my friends and family know that they should check it out with snopes first before forwarding me a bunch of hoaxes.

Comment: This is a fantastic site, thank you! I have so many friends and relatives who used to forward on every stupid piece of frightening garbage about the newest way to be kidnapped and/or killed, but I am now able to quickly look it all up here and pass along the results of my snopes searches... they've finally caught on and now use your site before sending out more garbage. Thanks!

Comment: Just a message of appreciation and admiration for all you do. Amid all the rampant inaccuracies out there, it's nice to see a force trying to keep truth from going out of focus. I felt like a Lone Ranger doing this by email in the 90's, combatting every fake virus alert and myth by replying to all recipients whenever I knew enough to say. I still do that now and then, but Snopes references seem frequently to find their way into such replies.

Comment: Hello Sonpes.com, I want to thank you for your wonderful website and the service you provide to Computer world. When I first started using my computer I recieved some emails that scared or made me cry ..thinking they were true, now when I recieve an email with some sort of doom and gloom, I simply go to your website and find the truth. I feel safe in knowing you are there.. Please don't ever go away. If you do I will consider all email to be a hoax, which may lead me to miss out on some very important information.

Comment: I am so grateful for the research you do and the integrity you have so that I can find truth on the Internet. It is hard to tell truth from error and I usually check it out on your site. It seems to be about 50/50 of truth and error sent to my email address. Keep up the great work and know that your efforts are appreciated.

Comment: Just wanted to thank you for this site. I check everything against it before forwarding it to anyone. And I'd have to say, every 8 out of 10 are fakes. Keep up the good work!

Comment: Hi! This is XXX XXXXXXXXX, from Costa Rica. I've been using your site as a reference for my responses to every e-mail I receive from friends, co-workers and family regarding warnings and even amazing events (like the "Eye of God"). I wanted to thank you for that, because of you, if I don't find the "legend" in your site, I've learned to do some research on the web and finding enough reasons to discard the warning, even my friends ask me to research their e-mails for them!!! Thank you! You're awesome!!!

Comment: KUDOS to Snopes for revealing the truth about the mountains of emails I get about missing kids, new and twisted crome trends, etc. Seems the only thing twisted today are the people who generate these emails. People must just not have enough to do.
Whenever I get one of these emails now, I always check your site, and 99% of the time, they're hoaxes.
Thanks for providing a great public service.

Comment: Great site guys. Keep up the excellent work. I use this site constantly to check the veracity of the endless e-mails i recieve that appear incredible. Amazingly, I have a high rate of success when looking things up on your site. I have introduced many people to this site. I also find that more and more people already know about it. Thanks

Comment: Just want to thank you for all the expense and effort you put into the site. I just became aware of it about 2 months ago when....I bet you can fill in my next words....a friend busted me on forwarding a fake email. I have really enjoyed researching and educating myself on urban legends!

Comment: I think this website is great. I work in an office where ridiculous e-mails fly around on a daily basis. Everyone in my office just received the one that says typing in your atm pin number backwards alerts the policy (which is false!)It is nice to be able to know the truth in such a quick way. Thank you!

I frequently direct my users to your site, telling them that if they haven't found the latest doomsday email *there*, they haven't looked hard enough, and better not even *think* of sending it to me (the network admin) before they have! I appreciate all that you have done in this area to dispell, debunk, and enlighten the masses.

Comment: I hope you understand the importance of your site. We need factual documentation on rumors (particularly those of religous, economic, and political nature). There seems to be an assault on educated thought and debate in our world. Thank you for being my shield. I will do my best to support the advertisers on your site.

Comment: I have had nothing really to accomplish in the past few days, and have been increasingly bored. I stumbled upon this website from a Wikipedia article on urban legends, and just wanted to thank you, because I've been sitting here for a few hours, clicking the "Random" button on your homepage and reading articles just for my amusement. So, that's all, just wanted to compliment the site and say good job. Very interesting stuff.

Thanks for the good work; your research results are an incredible resource, and your explanations for your conclusions are fantastic... most sources just state their opinions, but you folks let us evaluate them for our own purposes. Wonderful!!

Comment: I LOVE your site! I can't tell you how many times I've used the information on your site to debunk horror stories - the crying baby on the porch, "kidnapped at the mall", etc... - emailed to me by people who can't seem to think anymore once they're online... THANK YOU!!!!

I rarely stop to think how I take many things that are so readily on the web. Your site is a true wonder of the information age. I can't remember how many times I have used your site to dispell the trash that is sent to discredit so many things and people. I have on many occasions replied to the senders and their other email intendees that they should check with this site before accepting a great many things that sound too good to be true or at the other end of the spectrium so outragious and inflamatory toward others.
I truly hope that this and other sites like this will remain avalible as they are now and in the future.
THANK YOU ALL AGAIN

(Sorry for the purple-patchy prose, but ya'll are THE BEST!)

Comment: I just want you to know that I love your site and I frequent it almst daily. Especially when I get a forward of something that seems ridiculous.
I have to admit, I fell for the Mr. Ed thing. I thank you for doing that. As many people blindly follow and believe internet forwards, I did the same with your site. To think, someone with a degree in history not fact checking or reading the whole thing. My diploma weeps in the corner.
Please, keep up the great work! If you ever need any freelance help, Indiana can get quite boring!
Thanks!

Comment: I've enjoyed stumbling upon your site. I'm inundated with heart wrenching emails all the time and have grown very skeptical of my Christian friends who lack the most basic critical thinking skills. I now reply to their emails with a link to your site. Good work. Thanks.
