Alcohol websites in the US have to ask a visitor’s age before they can enter. Irritating. It adds friction to the site experience. It reduces traffic to the parts of the site that matter. But there’s no way around it.


:-(



fair point!


i did think about that when writing the headline and post. i hope you don't feel bait-and-switched. it seemed to me that in context of web the e was not necessary. next time i'll consider putting back the e.


No, the title rang a bell because I was recently concerned about sending my Passport over mail to an embassy for VISA. So I wanted to know if there was something crazy about mail :-)

The post interesting nevertheless. I've had my share of similar email experiences as well.


Just FYI, the credit/debit card company is often stylized as "VISA", and the travel document is a "visa".


True. I stand educated and corrected. [can't edit the post anymore though]
