If so, then making absolutely sure that they sign up will be very profitable. And some of the under 50's are not the brightest sparks on the bonfire.

You can see this if you go to any major website and receive email from them. They list every little idiotic step but they certainly do it for a reason.

"If, while trying to move your mouse, you run out of room on the mouse pad, please pick up the mouse and move it back to the center of the pad.

If you've ever helped someone over the age of 65 with a computer, it's almost as hard as getting a dog to talk. I have a friend whose grandmother has many computer problems, but all of which are easy for her to fix without outside help. If your PC "just doesn't work right," she recommends turning the machine off and unplugging it for several minutes to "let all the bad stuff drain out." <img src="http://www.blogstorm.co.uk/images/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile"> In fairness to the golf newsletter, it probably caters to many older people.

However, I agree. If someone is going to be on the internet, they should have a basic understanding of how use use a computer, including what a web browser is, how to type in a URL, how to copy and paste, etc. These are basic principals and the web site should not need to cater to people who don't take the time to learn them on their own.
