You are very lucky. I’ve Snoped my BIL a thousand times and he won’t look at the article, let alone the cites.
Jesus H., ambushed, there’s no way in hell I’m going to answer the novellas you call posts.
Let me just say this: we all make choices every day on what information we find credible, and what we do not. I chose to believe that web site as credible, you did not. My choice was correct. You chose otherwise, and you were wrong. Everything else is hand waving.
I’ve read Snopes for years and enjoy it a lot, particularly the glurge stuff. The pop-ups are pretty awful and I’m pretty sure that the last time I visited, which was several months ago, I got infected with a fairly annoying fake-virus-scan autodownloading malware. Now it could be I got it somewhere else but after the Zango thing last year I figure it was from them, has anyone else experienced or heard about this?
I’d like to know that if this actually was from one of their pop-ups that they’ve addressed the issue and that it’s safe to go back there.
My Kaspersky has made some screaming when I visited Snopes in the past, but nary a quibble since the Zango embroglio. Maybe they learned their lesson.:dubious:
