I’m one of the recipients of the email that circulated across
Amarillo on September 1st and 2nd 2005. I’m also guilty of forwarding
the email to a dozen or more people. I won’t attempt to sway your
opinion.
Just read and formulate your own opinion.
If you agree, purchase a bumper sticker, t-shirt, ball cap or other
item to show that
“YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL” !!!
The Email:
Greg Mitchell's response as posted on the Amarillo Globe News web site:
The Fallout: September 3, 2005
The Editorial: September 4, 2005
Moving On:
Kudos to the editorial board of the Amarillo Globe-News for your defense of Mr. Mitchell against the evil, wicked disinformation email campaign launched against him. You even used scripture to drive your point home. Double height letters, bold font, double spaced and all capitals.
Impressive, that the same newspaper that credited the devil for the devastation in New Orleans would quote scripture to defend one of its favorite sons.
As you clearly stated, the whole thing boils down to he-said, she-said. So let's chalk this one up as a draw and move on.
This email was mass distributed across Amarillo on Monday August 29th. Raise your hand if you received this email and shrugged it off as an "Urban Myth". Or did you heed the warning and fill your tank?
Someone call Steve Irwin aka 'The Crocodile Hunter', there just might be alligators in the city sewers after all.
Since the Amarillo Globe-News did such superb job on the Mitchell email situation, maybe you should tackle the zip code mystery.
This message was left on the Toot'n Totum web site on June 3rd 2005.
Confirmation that the message was received.
No misquote, no he-said she-said, the pumps speak for themselves. As of September 5, 2005 there has been no response to this question.
