Here's the scoop, straight from my yahoo mailbox.  This will clear
everything up.  It's not a complete hoax, but it doesn't seem to include
everything the person who wrote the petition thought it did.
Sorry for the crosspost, again, but now that I've got everything sorted
out, I figured I should let everyone know so there'd be no further
confusion.
