Skoop, are you OK?

Let's see the article says the packages are harmless, then you ask if Skoop is ok, does that imply that skoop is behind the hoax? :D :) :( :o :shock: :? 8) :oops: :twisted:

No, no, no. You silly flying monkey.

I wondered if Skoop was OK or shaken up by the mere IDEA of a suspicious package in her newsroom.

It's probably somebody's stale box lunch.

I'm off work today, but I saw an email from the publisher this afternoon about it. She referred us to a story on our online publication but I can't find it now, so it's either not gotten many hits, and been banished, or they took it down.

I do not worry about such things, as far as my own safety. I don't deny that they exist, but I am not going to invest any energy in worrying about something I have no influence over.

It is too bad that there are people who need to frighten other people or harm them for real, to make themselves feel pleasure. That is not real happiness.

Thanks, Skoop.

For some reason, I knew your answer would be nice, reasoned and calm.
