The owner behind the website has also cataloged some of his correspondence with people who failed to realize milk.com was not dairy-related[0], some of which are very entertaining.

I used to have microsoft@<isp> as an email address, and would occasionally get complaints about blue screens or other Windows related issues. People did not know how email worked in that time.

I really enjoyed reading those actually.

Some are funny, but it shows how 'trusting' some people are. It seems like mailing is a kind of harmless game (they actually shared addresses with strangers).

I hope/think most people are more cautious nowadays :)

Thanks! Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) the internet has grown up, and it's been a long time since someone has sent bona fide misdirected mail to the site.
