Once again I am in a state of apoplexy regarding the retarded myspace site, most definitely not my favourite website!!
I received an email alleging that "Tom" had sent me a message and giving a link to click, but no clue on what the message might be.
(Quite why the email couldn't have included the message like this forum does is beyond my powers of logic).
I clicked the link and was presented with a sign in page. fair enough I entered my usual 8 character (all letters) password but instead of having the common decency of telling me it was incorrect it simply refreshed the page. In mounting annoyance I asked for a reminder.
The resulting email confirmed and reminded me that myspace is one of the few very retarded sites that insist that your password contains at least one numerical character an unfathomable requirement as far as my logic goes so yes I had to enter my usual password but with a superfluous "2" added to satisfy this ridiculous requirement.
Luckily I had not yet deleted the original email so I was able to start over...
And for the umpteenth time I cursed my space for this feature and bingo my inbox opened and revealed that I had received yet another unwanted privacy policy amendment message from Tom at myspace.
There I feel better already
