"Put a link on the Internet" to .. what?

OK, this isn't nearly as good a story as teenage horse porn, but ..

"I want to make a link for people to type in my email and be directed to my web page."

OK .. where? On what page? Or did you want to embed it in an email you're spam- uhh- sending out to people?

It went downhill from there.

The worst thing about teaching idiots buzzwords is that they use them as indiscriminately as they use everything else, and bumble around until they find a meaningful combination by accident. The best thing is that they're usually trying to do something that's not even theoretically possible because what they think they want doesn't actually exist, or they're trying to do something I don't have to help them do on the phone. Like edit the HTML for their site.

(oh, and the real beauty of this one is that she turned out to want the search engines to bring up her page when people searched for her email address, which is something that will usually be done for her when the search engines index her page. Assuming she didn't want her page to pop up every time anyone types her email for any purpose in anything, which is something I'm kind of glad people like her can't do ..)

And the word 'tweaker' means something totally different to me. I never left my office without a few in my pocket. Beryllum or plastic, of course. Couldn't have anything ferrous near the TWTs or Klystrons...
