Clicking on Note 8: "The 537 members of Open Pages as of 20 October 1998 " hijacked IE, and started up SeaMonkey, purportedly to download an antivirus program, and a "protection scanner." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.193.34 (talk) 20:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that. There were several more linking to the same site, all re-directing to the rogue anti-virus site. I've removed them all. --GraemeL (talk) 21:03, 20 November 2008 (UTC)


 * For those who don't know, "IE" is online speak for "please gang-rape me." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.171.176.129 (talk) 09:42, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

The definition
The article begins like this: "An online diary is a personal diary or journal that is published on the World Wide Web on a personal website or a diary-hosting website."

I may be misinterpreting the term or the description of the term, but this definition or sentence doesn't immediately sound accurate. A diary is quite often private. Whether the diary is something you write in a book with paper pages, or you write your diary entries as emails you send to yourself in your Hotmail account, doesn't matter very much. It's still a diary (or journal). That your diary is kept online doesn't necessarily mean it's "published". Just wanted to share this thought on the first sentence. -95.34.0.173 (talk) 21:57, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * You're right, you ARE completely without a clue. What part of the word "published" meaning "published" do you not understand?  You just keep sharing your thoughts, darlin' and keep those mint juleps coming!
