A friend of mine received the following after sending a message to the north pole. Have we really confirmed the validity of this project? [log in to unmask] ----------------------------- Some Christmas Scrooge is attempting to shut-down the north pole santa email address by spreading a false rumor that hungry children will get a 10 cent donation from Sun Microsystems if you send email to Santa. THIS IS NOT TRUE. If it were true, any half-wit could wip up a shell script to send out a google of repeated mailings to Santa every second, therefore ending world hunger in minutes. Unfortunately, a lot of people are falling for this latest sick net.joke and a very nice service for kids to use to email Santa has been effectively shut down by the flood of email pouring in.
