Dude -- I've been a vp of engineering for online companies for over a decade. I have a hotmail account in use since 1996, and I worked on the first web site in the U.S. back in 1991. And this morning I clicked on a system email from (what appeared to be) LinkedIn that turned out to be a forgery. (No harm, but it was spam.)
It can happen, and it's not just about being an idiot.
uh, if I had the time I'd dig back in the pictureski thread and see how you lost your cool when she asked me to visit. Imagine what I could've accomplished if she actually stuck around the forum - the invite was a few weeks after I started posting here. But at the time I thought you were a woman, so I didn't know I was treading murky waters..
