I'd love someone to try this out

I just was looking at http://www.stuff.co.nz, and I clicked with the middle mouse button on the photo of Donna Huata's sister, and I got sent to

http://www.earthlight.co.nz/pipermail/nz-folk/2002-March.txt

WTF!

Normally in firefox, it would fire up another tab, and load the link. Freaky - I must click on random photos more often.

Doesn't look like there's anything interesting in the page, but its a fascinating error... If anyone could verify it, I'd feel much less special, and less like I'm losing my mind Big Grin

I think you've just managed to activate a "jump to conversation about folk music" command via your mouse. Are you sure that file isn't from your history?

My Mum drummed two things into me when I was a young tacker....

Always put the toilet seat down...

... and don't listen to, or talk about, folk music Crazy

I agree that the subject matter is pretty dull - its a shame it wasn't Don Brash's ACT emails... it was the fact that clicking on that picture brought up the page at all

Maybe a cut and paste error when coding the page.
