Yahoo IM is NOT shutting down

Ok, so I'm getting really tired of everyone sending me the same hoax IM.
This has been passed around in many forms for a number of years now, yet
it seems to still get people. I hate to break the news to you but
forwarding an IM to everyone you know will NOT prevent yahoo from
shutting down (if they actually were going to), and Bill Gates won't
send you money for forwarding an email. If it says "forward to all of
your friends", chances are it is a hoax. This goes for virus notices
too. ALWAYS research before you forward. A good place to start is
snopes.com.
