Something That Makes Me Go Hmmmm

I'm sure if you used the internet a time or two, (this posting is on the internet, so this would count as one time), you've had to register for someone's website.

To register for someone's site means that they want to be nosy and collect info and put it an a brag book to show off to other website owners and say "nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, more people love me than you." Or something to that effect.

But have you ever noticed that when you register for someone's site, they ask you for your email address, right. You type in the first letter or your address and a drop-down menu with your address already neatly typed up for you pops up and you click on it and it fills in the blank automatically, so you don't have to type all of it. This is especially helpful for those who have ridiculously long email address, like my son, whose address is, like, 50 characters long.

Then they ask you to confirm the first email address, and enter it again. But how come the confirmation email doesn't do the cool, drop down, automatic entry thing? Then, after you manually type the ridiculously long email address and submit your new entry, you get the warning in bold red letters: Passwords Do Not Match, Try Again! It's really annoying.

Hmmmm?
