> ... There is a small child from a Christian couple in Scotland > dying from Leukemia. His wish is to be in the Guiness Book of World Records > for having received the most Post Cards. Won't You Send One? I understand from misc.wanted that this is a con and that there is no such child in Scotland by the name of Little Buddy. misc.wanted got quite detailed about this running around for 11 years! Unless "chris" comes back and clearly explains this plea, I would consider it as a hoax. (I understand that the postal department is getting postcards by the hundreds and is just throwing them in the garbage.)

James 1:26 [Perhaps this Scripture can be taken as a warning to research your postings. I caught another one of the classic net rumors recently before the article made it out. I'm sorry I didn't catch this one. In general, before asking for mass action on some situation, it is probably best to verify that the situation exists. --clh]
