I must say that I am still stunned! How can the organisors of an international rugby test match allow for a stoned reggae singer to completely disrespect the South African national anthem? Surely when you select a person to sing the anthem you need to have seen them sing it before or at least let them rehearse it for you.

I received this pathetic email scam today: Email Subject: Notice of Underreported Income from "IRS"

For years people have been playing around with WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editors and claim that they are web designers – sorry to break it to you, but they are NOT web designers, they are novices. I can personally recall occasions where potential clients have grumbled about the amount I have quoted them. Their response is often: “But my 16 year old nephew can put together a site for a fraction of that cost – why should I pay so much to you?” Or “I have quotes from other companies that are charging half of what you are – if you lower your quote we’ll give you the business.” In the beginning I found comments like these rather intimidating and I would try and accommodate these new clients even if it meant slashing my prices beyond it being worth my while. Mistakes I will not readily make again.

Who is actually stupid enough to fall for this stuff? Well apparently lots of very naive Internet users fall prey to these schmucks! The messages usually tell you about all the money that is due to you ad all you need to do is send them your name, surname, address, contact numbers, email addresses, identity number and more.
