Internet Perfidity

[Peter Giordano]

It was suggested that the fact that Vonnegut was the victim of an internet
hoax is no big deal because Vonnegut wasn't hurt by the prank - I disagree
and apparently so does Vonnegut (as the following quote suggests):

"How can I know whether I'm being kidded or not, or lied to?  I don't know
what the point is, except how gullible people are on the Internet?"  An
angry Kurt Vonnegut [...] From THE BERKSHIRE EAGLE, August 8, 1997. p.A7
