Well I guess it wouldn't be much of a `fool' if it didn't fool *anyone.*
But TIm, Tim.... your mother? Your sister? It wasn't halfway subtle.
(If it had been the `Canadian library barcode' spoof, we could understand. That one was so credible I'm afraid it may give the bad guys ideas.)
heh, Hook, line, AND sinker. This is what happens when your link is down for 4 days and you try to get through c'punks back-mail at a fast pace, thinking that the stuff you're looking at is 3-4 days old. On the other hand, everyone in my family uses email, and my sister (the english major in the bunch) has asked about stuff like using pgp to send intimate mail to her boyfriend. And one of my brothers, (the cattle farmer) has asked 'if there's an easy way that I can mail some financial stuff without worrying about people reading it. Like useing that codes stuff you talk about'. They both just like privacy. Even my mom has said things like "go watch TV or something while I'm doing my mail". So the mother & sister part didn't really raise any flags. I've gotten over the culture shock of everyone (and their mother) wanting to be on the 'net awhile back. Course looking back at it I'm going "waitaminute" In any case I'm sitting here laughing about it. Being taken in now and then by a good joke is an ok thing. It's going to force me to plot something devious for next April fools day. ;) Tim
