Same must go for me. There's no way that my parents' inability to competently use a PC could sporn I.

I loved the sticker I saw on a car once "Don't like my driving? www.getfucked@fuckyou.com" - good job, genius

I can actually see why this happened.

many people beleive that an email address is the same thing as a web address.

not correct, but understandable at least.

hehe. my mom actually knows quite a bit about computer... however she doesn't understand how spammers work. i had to explain to her yesterday morning that her email wasn't hijacked and there was no way it could be if emails were being sent from admin@herwebsite.com which doesn't even exist. had to tell her that they use false email addresses to mask where it's really coming from and they make 'em look like real addresses to fool people. she then tells me "well, this one comes with an attachment..." nooooooooooo. she knows better than to open random attachments, but i had to tell her anyway to just delete it and ignore it. -_- parents... you can teach 'em new tricks sometimes... but will they remember? maybe... if you're lucky. =p
