I got frustrated when you had to tell someone for the 15th time that passwords are CASE SENSETIVE, after a 5 page dissertation on what case sensitivity is. Or the person who didn't know why his computer woulden't turn on, maybe it's because they only supplied power to the monitor?

Yes, Probably will continue too until end users are eliminated, hopefully by some sort of computer operator licensing;).
Go through the paper(whois) trail, it seems to be a company part of a bunch of "Get This For Free" companys called iholdings.com(mactrading.com). Some of the websites held within seem to follow the same Multi-Tierd Marketing scemes(Pyramid). I fear the spam...
