So I posted a question to the webkitsdk-dev mailing list today. For those not “in the know”, it’s a mailing list for people writing software that uses Apple’s WebKit open source browser engine - read: die-hard apple geaks, and technical web people.
As I was about to go home, I received the following reply to my post (names have been changed to protect the innocent):
Hi, I really don't know why I keep receiving these inquiry's. I have nothing at all to do with this! Sorry cannot help, Sally Whatsit
A quick Google Search showed that Sally is a 50-something Canadian pensioner who advertises her services as a cat sitter, of all things…
I sent her an email explaining that maybe someone else had signed her up for the mailing list, and provided instructions for her to unsubscribe.
I can’t shake the image from my head of a nice little old lady from Canada who periodically gets puzzling mails from misguided youth asking about computers, which she dutifully replies to.
Yikes!
