[Fwd: UNCONFIRMED, BUT Possibly very important]

[Richard Barth]

Stan may not be known for spoof e-mails, but what do we know about the "few
screens" full of people who had their hands on this one before him?  I'm always
skeptical of after-the-fact "predictions"; if this shown up *before* September
11th, I'd be impressed.  Let's see what happens on Halloween.

There was a "net fable" I heard the other day about some Englishman having
found and returned a lost wallet to an Afghan in London.  After refusing a cash
reward, he was instead given a tip to stay out of London on October 11th. 
We'll see what that's worth by October 12th.

73,

Dick
