    VOTE NO ON Bill 602P e-mail, hoax or true?

    Hi all, got an FW about government attempting to charge 5 cents per e-mail.

    Usually, most emails I get that are warnings are Hoax mails and get enough to know which are hoax.

    But this became a topic at work and I'd like to find it's truth.

    Fact or hoax?

    It's either that or it's into the woodchipper

    A hoax. Search on "5 cents per e-mail" or Bill 602P for details.

    For future reference, this is the site I use to check these things out. http://www.datafellows.com/news/hoax.htm I have a niece who sends me about one of these "forwards" a week.

    Thanks,

    I was almost sure it was a hoax, but since it was a topic at work, I wondered.

    I get annoyed when I hear another "tax" on top of all the other taxes.

    Thanks again.
