techrecoveryConversation with a luser today:
LUSER: "So, where should I send this file to?"
ME: "Please send it to FOO@BAR.COM."
LUSER: "It's not working. Was that FO@BAR.COM?"
ME: "No, it's FOO@BAR.COM."
LUSER: "Okay, it's not coming up. Do I need the www.?"
ME: "...No, you don't need the www. ... This is an email address, not a website."
LUSER: "Do I need the http://...?"
ME: "No. This is an email address, not a website."
LUSER: "Well, I'm getting 'This Page Cannot Be Displayed.'"
ME: "...Could you please open up a new email for me, sir?"
LUSER: "Oh, so I should be in Outlook?"
*headdesk*
