Snopes Warnings

I am seriously bugged by the forwards that quote Snopes, warning me that my computer will blow up in my face if I open a certain piece of e-mail. They are clearly sent by folks who do not read the Snopes entry all the way to the bottom, where it almost always says the virus is an old one, not a major threat and doesn't deserve the dire warning it gets in all those forwards. We are getting paranoid.
