There are others around here and yes, most of us thought we were too
young to be curmudgeons as well. Just be thankful you aren't doing tech

(We just setup an announcement mailing list for one of our customers. All
they have to do is put their email address in a box and hit the subscribe
button. Since last night - 41 subscribers, 13 bounces due to bad
addresses. We've gotten more than a few usernames (sans @aol.com) and one
guy who tried username.yahoo.com. I'm readying the new, even more
nazi-like verification script - this beast will actually contact their
mail host and verify the email address before continuing.  The lusers
made me do it! <evil grin>)
