I was agreeing, up to the description.
Assuming that
- sex
- money
- power
- password
are still popular passwords, I wager just about everyone who uses IRC or IM has typed somebody's password into an IRC channel or IM.I'm gonna vote on the claim the way I assume you meant it.
I'm with Robin.
The description was a personal aside. If I had intended it to be part of the claim, I'd have put it in the claim. :P
I use comments for that purpose. Although sometimes I slip.
Changed my vote after Ryan's comment.
Then yes, but I just immediately changed my password.
I agree including the description. I abhor focus-stealing. Which is one of the reasons my focus follows my mouse.
