If people have to pay to be told that they're stupid, perhaps they'll start to understand that they really are gullible idiots."</p> <p>When asked what percentage of Internet urban myths have actually been started by Snopes employees to start with, Mikkelson gave a wry smile, thought for a couple of minutes, and replied "quite a few", with a wink.</p> <p>Internet Advocacy groups have warned that many people have started posting links online to a Snopes page that claims that it's impossible for them to charge their credit card via their ISP without the customer knowing - this is of course false, and this Snopes page, like all others, will soon cost $4.95 to read.</p> <p>For those unwilling to pay the new charges, there is still one last chance - federal internet laws mean that users who posted a paragraph in block capitals describing the new rates for using Snopes as their Facebook status will continue to be able to use the service free of charge in perpetuity. </p>
