Attempts to keep email communications under control can have bizarre outcomes. Take web designer Gay Hamilton, for example. Telecom New Zealand's email system automatically rejected her emails to the company because it found inappropriate language within them. The inappropriate trigger word? Gay. Like I said, bizarre.

The web is indeed a tangled place.
