RE: Tax on our List Use

Gay, and everybody,

PLEASE don't forward this kind of message to our list UNLESS you check its
validity at an Urban Legend debunking site like this one:
http://www.snopes.com

This article is also helpful:

I know that a lot of these messages sound perfectly valid, but in my 6-7
years online, I have yet to come across one that was not bogus.

Thanks for letting me vent about this pet peeve of mine!

In love of gardening,

I thoroughly enjoy use of the Sq.Ft. e-mail system & hope to continue
for a long,long time.

I received a disturbing note from a close friend who works for our
federal govt. (3/2/99):

Guess we realized the government would sooner or later find a way to
tax us
for using the Internet. Congress will be voting in less than two
weeks.CNN
stated that the Government would, in two weeks time, decide to allow
or not
allow a Charge to your phone bill equal to a Long Distance call EACH
time you
access the Internet. The address is http://www.house.gov/writerep/
If you choose, visit the address above and fill out the necessary
form.If
EACH one of us, forward this message on to others in a hurry, we may
be able
to prevent this injustice from happening!Please Pass This ON.

I accessed the http address above to get an e-mail note to my
representative with no problem.

I debated on whether to pass this on to you all since it's not about
growing in my garden, but darn it, I can't dispel the feeling it IS
about my monetary ability to receive useful gardening info!!!!  Please
forgive me if I have infringed upon you in any way.
