Has anyone else gotten an email from someone like:
mrunderpants@austinchronicle.com
Is he a member here?
I'm jsut curious because I got a email from him asking about the "2nd tutorail":
Do
Print "Hello World"
Loop
I don't know why I got this email, as I'm not the best at coding, and I have no clue who this guy is. It was a pretty random email and he was asking for help and it just seems odd so I'm not sure if it's just spam or someone actually looking for help.
Edit: It's mrpants@austinchronicle.com

I believe I can clear up this mystery.

Mr. Underpants is the younger brother of Mr. Underware, of Underware Design. He has unfortunately not inherited his older brother's coding skills as you might've noticed.

They both live together in a house under a hill, with a cat called Mr. Underfoot, where Mr. Underware delves into the underground hacking movement, and Mr. Underpants delves into.. other underneath things.

.. .

I really need to cut down on these late night coding sessions.

I cleared everything up, he had a problem running DarkBASIC on his computer that's why he wanted help on "Hello World", because his computer crashed when he tried to compile it.

Seems strange though. Why wouldn´t he just ask his (older?) brother? Especial when he has a brother that good.

Maybe he isn't realted to UWdesign.
Cuz that would mean that Uwdesign's computer doesn't support darkBASIC, or whatever the guys problem was, and anyways doesn't UWdesign live in Australia? Cuz Mr.Underpants lives in Texas.
