Even a biggish web host doesn't really have thaaat many customers, and I know I personally wouldn't recognize top management from most of the big(ish) companies I interact with... Vonage, Speakeasy, etc. I'd probably only even recognize Steve Jobs (of course), Bill Gates, and Steve Ballmer. I don't know what the heads of Sony, Nintendo, Adobe, or IBM look like, though I'm sure corporate groupies out there do. I do randomly meet people who use our service, though, and that's pretty cool. I always have to make sure they're happy with the service before I decide how to take the conversation, though! Fortunately they always seem to be... or maybe that's just what they tell me.

Obviously not the same attention as a rock star, but it would seem like there's enough volume there to be recognized for what you do. On another note, I think it would be more convincing if these crazies pretended to be related to Josh. ;-) Dallas: I’m not sure that counts as fame… but the parking lot full of screaming fans that greets you in the parking lot probably does. :P

Thanks for writing it up! I'm not even old enough to have a 16 year old kid! Haha, that’s a pretty random happening. Thanks for writing it up!

I’m not even old enough to have a 16 year old kid!

But basically this guy claimed to be your 16 year old son demanding me build an entire website, design, CMS and all from the ground up for free. He even sent me some emails from "abuse@dreamhost.com" and "dallas.kashuba@dreamhost.com" by changing some headers. Eventually (like first day) I started to discover he's British, and just some weird guy that wouldn't drop this. I told him I was going to post it and he told me my account would be suspended :P I have his email if you want. ;) You’re definitely right about neither of us knowing much about you.
