Be careful who you trust.
I'm generally a nice guy, and because of that, I have often been taken advantage of.
Recently, I created an e-mail account here on sinistermoose.com for someone who I thought was a friend. I generally don't ask too many questions of people who are friends, because I generally suspect that if they're a friend, they're okay and aren't going to do something that will cause me any problems.
Unfortunately, this did not turn out to be the case recently, as I had to remove an e-mail account, and essentially remove someone I thought was a friend from my life, and from my servers.
This person was banned from a website for posting objectionable material after having used the e-mail address, I gave them, to create an account on a community website.
The net result was that because I own the domain, and own the servers where the e-mail was hosted, I have been implicated in this situation of posting this objectionable material.
I'm hoping that nothing will result from this, as I have removed the e-mail address, and will no longer allow this person to access my servers, but the damage has already been done.
I have contacted the owners of the website in question, and apologized for the issue, however I am not certain it will prevent further ramifications in this situation.
I suppose this is simply a cautionary tale. Just be careful who you trust, and who you consider a friend, because you never know what kind of freak lurks beneath the surface.

It is the best of cars, it is the worst of cars. It is the simplest of cars, wait.... no it isn't.
So, it seems as though Toyota has teamed up with Subaru to design a car that is both pointless and a little silly. We start with the drivetrain, which seems to be derived from Subaru's parts bin. I have a great deal of respect for boxer engines. They're flat offering a low profile so the front hood of the car can be very low. That is unless, you pile a mountain of crap on top of the engine making it as tall as an inline four cylinder. Subaru used to place the spare tire over the engine, because there was so much room under the hood of their cars, even with the engine in place.

I'm fairly certain that if you and I sat down while enjoying a tasty beverage, we could identify most of the problems plaguing the United States. Our concerns would probably be echos of the concerns of our parents, only changed ever so slightly to prevent being accused, of being our parents.
Most people, except for the very wealthy have thought about it; "What would I do if I won the lottery? What would be the first thing I would buy?"
Did we learn nothing from the break-up of Bell Telephone? Forcing the monopolizing Bell telephone company to break into smaller, more regionalized telephone service providers was a good idea for competition, but today we seem to be allowing that company to reform and again start it's monopolistic business practices.
I have, for many years now, been an active web designer and hosting provider for about 250 to 300 websites. I have been concentrating mostly on Joomla, the system this website runs, and many other PHP Content Management Systems.
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth record...s were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
