		David and Barbara Mikkelson are active participants on the forums, with David going by the name "snopes" (lowercase "s") and Barbara going simply as "Barbara".

	WSJ Special
		The Mikkelsons investigate and then categorize hoaxes and legends, and footnote their sources.
		One news report, Mikkelson said, put a woman at the rescue scene, dressed in medical scrubs, claiming to have gotten a cell phone call from her husband, trapped in the rubble.
		Mikkelson said there is one rumor (hoax, legend) that has not cropped up yet, but it surely will soon.

		Mikkelson said targeting the "busters" also requires a complete change in how scriptural truth is presented.
		Mikkelson said the intent is not necessarily to provide a full-service church, however, and some have even been encouraged to join a civilian congregation as they mature in their faith.
		Mikkelson said their detractors still see the service format as a dangerous concession to culture"that we are changing church to match the world."

	AFU/People/snopes previous life (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		David "Mikkelson" is actually the son of Robert and Agnes McElson, a couple (not siblings, suprisingly enough) from the coalfields of New Brunswick who moved to British Columbia in 1955 to seek their fortune in the bustling coastal city of Vancouver.
		Sensing that she and her husband were doomed, and wanting to save her newborn David, Agnes put David in a boat and set him adrift in the Georgian Strait.
		Battered and confused by the rapid, smooth motions of the non-robots, David crept into an alley, bitterly cursing the fates that had put him in this position.

	Wired News: MS Denies Wingding Thing, Again
		On his site, Mikkelson concludes that rumors about eerie images corresponding to the letters NYC are in fact true.
		Kuresman speculated that it was certainly possible for someone with a lot of time on their hands to continue entering letters and symbols into the font until they found something that could be interpreted as a message of hate.
		The only trouble with this interpretation of the matter, Mikkelson said, is that the two flights that crashed into the towers were American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175.

	Web sites help gauge the veracity of claims / Online resources check ads, rumors
		While the handful of urban legends sites such as Emery's and Barbara and David Mikkelson's popular www.snopes.com wade through the Internet election rumors, others such as www.factcheck.org and the Columbia Journalism Review's www.campaigndesk.org address the wildest claims that Sen. John Kerry and President Bush make in their advertisements, debates and stump speeches.
		Mikkelson said the close race between Bush and Kerry might be fueling the rumors.
		She pointed out that any big events including the Sept. 11 attacks or the shortage of flu vaccine will lead to a flood of e-mails, but the wave of interest in the election is particularly big.

		David Mikkelson, who co-founded Snopes.com 10 years ago with his wife, Barbara, says that, like gossip, many Internet myths sometimes start with a tiny grain of truth.
		Sometimes, though, even when they tell people a rumor is unquestionably false — or that the instigator recanted, as in the case of one rumor against Target — Mikkelson says some people refuse to believe it.
		Says Mikkelson: The rumors are often "promulgated by mostly earnest but woefully misinformed people."

		Not to rain on Cubs fans already rained-on parade, but the Back to the Future movies are, as Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper pointed out, not to be confused with Nostradamus, the famed French seer who's not exactly batting a thousand himself.

		Since the September 11 attacks in the US, Snopes has increasingly found itself dealing with a different kind of urban legend: the numerous rumours and unsubstantiated stories that have subsequently swept email accounts and the popular press.
		Covering the events surrounding the attacks has led to a change in the working method adopted by the Mikkelsons.
		Snopes hasn't switched its attention solely to the terrorist war; amid the ongoing discussions of the tragedy, it published a debunking of a widely circulated "missing child" email and other non-terrorist items are expected to follow.
