Shaun,  I know you've already apologized for sending this to this FLASH

list, but this is a hoax... its impossible to track how many people the

e-mail goes to.  This is a stunt I've heard of before where someone write a

"weeping heart" letter and sends it out with lots of "THIS IS NOT A CHAIN

LETTER!" stuff inserted just to see how far it will go (to see if they ever

get it sent back to them...)


This offends those of us who have lost people to cancer since to many

people this type of mindless no-money-required "donation" is not going to

help this "mystery girl", or anyone else suffering from cancer.  If you

want to help someone with cancer, go to the American Caner Society's

website at http://www.cancer.org/ and click "donate".  I'll get off my

soapbox now, and I too am sorry to plug up this list with non-flash related

matters.  No offense, Shaun, I know you had good intent in sending this.

If anyone wants to discuss this further, please write me off list.  Thank

you.
