A culture in which people fall in love with what other people <i>say</i>, instead of falling for what they <i>are</i>. It is our greed which enables such exploits. Not a greed for money, but a greed to be awesome, be superior and to be around awesome and superior people. Attraction based on the other's rank in society (be it their job or education) cannot be true attraction. Usually the North American system of being confident and showing off one's awesomeness works pretty well... (and it discriminates against foreigners who have been raised to see modesty as a virtue)... it's only in cases like this, when we can see that something's fundamentally wrong with this society. Not just something wrong with the liars, but also with those who go for the superficial awesomeness, instead of profound goodness. cheers and good luck! Robert Joey,

GET vs POST? Sadly, not one web developer I've interviewed has been able to clearly explain the difference. I've actually given up on teaching it, instead opting for "if you want people to bookmark it, use GET." Good enough, I guess. Oh yeah, and great story =) My house was recently broken into, and I imagine that the sense of violation was similarly creepy. (I arrived here from MetaFilter.)

You were a lot luckier than I was. I'm still dealing with it. Part of me wonders (hopes, actually) that your girl & my girl are the same. It would mean there's one less grifter out there, at least.
