Just had a web form reject my email address as invalid. It insisted that the email must be entered in the format 'n...@domain.com.' Which is hard for me to do with a .org.
I mean. Just. Really? *Reeeeeally*? Isn't this just delightful. Didn't we fire the last web developer who did stupid crap like that in, like, 1997? It's 2010, for pete's sake. We don't have flying cars here in the future (dammit), but we do have more than one frigging top-level domain. (And why do I have a feeling that their response to my "bug" email, in which I inquired if they were or were not aware that there were many perfectly valid top-level domains other than .com, is going to be "Go sign up for a free email account"?) Maybe it's for the best. I might as well not sign up at all; if this is a sign of their QA process they'll probably log the sign up year as 19110 and have a broken Matt's Script Archive message board behind the scenes. Hate. Sigh. --s.
