Definitely. Syntactic e-mail address "validation" is one of the most

And don't get me started on phone number validation. The most annoying
thing to me, though, is sites that reject names that have an apostrophe
in them. I hate being told that my name, that I have been using for
over seventy years, is invalid.
OK, now that I am started, what else? Oh yah. Look at your credit
card. The number has spaces in it. Why do I have to remove them. If
you don't like them then you are a computer, just remove them.
When do we stop working for computers and have the computers start
working for us?
If this is being voted on, pretend you are in Georgia, vote often and
early. Best question of the century.
