A little too literal 

This is not a dig at the person who said this, because we all have those ‘Duh’ moments in life. But it did make me wonder if we should publish our full email addresses on our companies’ sites.
   Last week, a nice lady called me and wondered why messages from her company were not getting through to me on email. She asked, ‘Is your address fi[email protected]?’
   ‘Yes.’
   ‘They don’t seem to be getting through.’
   I asked how she spelt my name and then it dawned on us that they were literally typing [email protected].
   So, the villains that Hedley Lamarr hired to attack Rock Ridge were not atypical when they repeated verbatim, ‘I … your name … pledge allegiance …’

Note

Entries from 2006 to the end of 2009 were done on the Blogger service. As of January 1, 2010, this blog has shifted to a Wordpress installation, with the latest posts here.
   With Blogger ceasing to support FTP publishing on May 1, I have decided to turn these older pages in to an archive, so you will no longer be able to enter comments. However, you can comment on entries posted after January 1, 2010.
