  But nowadays I tend to defer to Snopes to verify these sorts of emails.

  The way they get you is their tone of knowingness which sucks you in. The psychology is that it makes you feel like you now know something which the rest of the world doesn't, so the recipient feels like a hero for passing the knowledge along.

  Cheers

    Thanks for the heads up information. It sounds logical to me. I will be sure to refer to snopes when I get these types of "know-it-all" emails before I blindly embarrass myself with frivolous posts.
