Idiot.

It says in their TOS that they'd NEVER ask you for your password.

But, chances are

1) it wasn't a she who wrote you (do you know how many guys inpersonate
girls on the 'net?  It's pretty easy to tell, and you always should be
careful...),

2) he (I say this because it probably was) probably would've wrote a msg
to XOOM saying that your site had pirate stuff or porn, which would've
probably gotten it wiped (since the bastards at XOOM don't check before
they nuke anyway), and

3) when in doubt, use your own webspace that you pay for.

XOOM spews too much garbage anyway.  They give you unlimited space, but
they have all those bloody banners.

Xoom isn't any different.  AFAIR, Tripod, Angelfire, and VirtualAve also
have it.

That's always a good idea.  But sometimes you need it.  Someone should
invent a web browser with a Javascript ON/OFF switch right in front of
you.

Hey, how come this thread's x-posted on so many ngs?
