my french is a little rusty, but i got the gist and thought that this was the one. yeah, it's an "urban legend" i got five copies of it a month ago or so and no one who sent it could provide me with the address of the original writer. haven't seen anything yet at Snopes.com or Urbanlegends.com but i sent it in and told them what i knew. they do the research and try to hunt down the "answer". while it may all be "right on" it's still very likely a fabrication.
that's ok...Wired and Security Focus just reported a hoax as news too.
