Gotta say I can see how benji would just randomly pick some date for his birthday, without noticing if it's necessary
If you sign up to a lot of sites or forums then you do tend to just wizz thru these things, at least if it's not a site you're planning on really getting into
for example I've made loads of yahoo accounts in the past (mainly for new wp accounts lol), and I pretty much just type in any old bollocks, without even checking if it's required or not
anyway happy birthday, if it is today. can't be arsed reading thru this whole thread
