Idiot's Corner

Welcome to a new section, Idiot's Corner.

The aim of this section is to share with a wider audience some of the more amusing emails and personal messages that I receive from people.

The names have been removed to protect the guilty - but if you spot one of your own messages in here, then maybe you ought to think a little harder next time.

Aharrrr! Here be a list of scurrrvy dogs that be writing to me for blatant help with piracy.

Don't want to be on the list? Then don't send me stupid emails.

I don't know why so many people believe that I'm a good place to get help with pirating games. It's not like I make a secret of my anti-piracy stance.

Still, time and again I get emails like this - without even an attempt to hide the intention...

Here's a great email I received, linking Windows Vista to some sort of bizarre Nazi conspiracy.

It's wrong on so many levels, I just had no idea where to start with a reply to it. Enjoy!
