Sorry and not meaning to attack you timblebug6000, but I agree with Nessie, I have a couple of friends that I emailed on a regular basis, but finally tired of everything that I emailed being checked out on Snopes. I would always receive a reply about what was on Snopes and that I needed to always check with Snopes to be sure I was correct. I no longer email these folks, due to being constantly reminded that I needed to check with Snopes. One individual who is a local in my area, not only did this to me with her emails, but to another friend, needless to say neither of us email this person anymore.Not saying that everything is always correct, but sometimes these so called "Experts" are not always correct.
I have heard the part of the story about May, but not all of it. I did know that Gene Autry made the song a big hit when I was a small child- now am I telling my age or what. lol.
Wishing everyone a Blessed and Merry CHRISTmas, and yes we need to remember the reason for celebrating this beautiful Day.

Gerbie and Nessie, it's good we all have our own experiences with Snopes, as I'm sure you're right, it would be difficult to be correct 100% of the time. I am interested though, if you could please tell me what information you looked up on Snopes that was incorrect?

There have also been instances, in which Snopes has used its assumed credibility, to purposefully mislead people about other issues.
Snopes is run by a group of people, not a group of super-computers-of-only-fact/truth. No doubt 'most' of what they claim may be true. I'm just saying I don't take anything Snopes says, as gospel.

No, it's good to investigate something further than just the one source that's for sure. I read that Snopes is actually owned by a couple in California, although she is a Canadian..hmmm.... oh well... just some other random tidbit of "stuff" for me to think about.
