        While I find it equally stupid as you do, you mustn’t forget that the overwhelming majority of users on the internet aren’t techies like us.

          If this was grandma on AOL I would probably agree, but this person is cogent enough to actually file a lawsuit because the place she went to search didn’t serve her the ads she wanted. Hard to believe she didn’t also know at the very least that Google or Bing are options. I wouldn’t expect her to know about DuckDuckGo for instance.

          edit: and the “95%” part of that reply was what made it more doubtful than anything. If people didn’t make such ridiculous overreaching claims, they’d be more believable. The exaggerations aren’t necessary or valid.

            Fair. Though it still makes me doubt it a little bit. It is still an American woman we’re talking about. Suing is your national pastime, isn’t it?

                Hahaha. Don’t worry, we can sue companies or people in my country just fine as well. We just tend not to do it when, say, the hotdog is missing the sauce you asked for. ;)
