There was a similar discussion about the postcard story on the BITNET distribution list REXXLIST a short while ago. Started (of course) when someone posted the 'original' postcard story to REXXLIST. I have received the same postcard story on at least five other lists, in addition to at least ten copies sent me directly from friends on the net. Now of course I feel sympathy for the boy in this story, and the consensus on REXXLIST seemed to be that the story was indeed true. But folks, *please* let's stick to relevant topics! In my opinion it's irrelevant whether or not the story is a hoax, it still doesn't belong on these lists! The TCP-IP list is for discussion about TCP/IP, REXXLIST for discussion about REXX.
