INCIDENT DETAILS:
Summary: jodi.org
Reference #: 990912-0010
Category: Sales
Contact info: seastorm@seastorm.com

Elapsed time: 0 Minutes
Status: Unresolved

DESCRIPTION:
Heard about you from the site: jodi.org, one of my
favorite websites. Want to let you know:

1. jodi.org gets updated and doesn' always explode browsers.

2. You guys are free to do your thing, but your jodi.org warning
makes you look like a bunch of Nazis.

3. IMHO you shot yourself in the foot with this one. The exploding
browser windows pissed me off too, especially since I opened it at
work as the boss was walking through the door, but I have a sense of
humor and got over it. Then they updated their site to something much cooler.

4. I' rather a web site crash my browser than bore me.

5. It' one thing to ask people to take a disruptive or illegal site
off your server. It' another thing to ask people to remove links
from their sites. Maybe you ought to ask everyone who violates
copyright to remove all offending files...that' more of a problem
than one JavaScript joke...

I have no association with the creators of jodi.org and don' even
know who they are. This is just my opinion as a web user.
