The replies were not over useless point, etc. Making sure that people
realize that these were all hoaxes was an important thing to do. And, it
was a good practice in spotting disinformation. Sort of Disinformation
101. The original poster's reply was somewhat cryptic on this. He claims
to have posted it as some sort of exercise, but his response seemed to
me to indicate that he is either knowingly putting out disinformation or
he did not realize that it was a hoax. I really could not tell. It would
be a great help if he were clearer on this point.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
