Q: What is usually the first page a visitor will go to in a website?

A: They will usually go to the home page. After that, they will go to whatever page they find most pertinent to the matter at hand. For instance, someone visiting a site about how to cook salmon, might go to the Frequently Asked Questions page, figuring that's where he could find answers to common questions.

Along those lines, someone who goes to a website devoted to surviving a snake bite might want information about how to survive a snake bite. If they can't find that information on the home page, they will look for a FAQ, or perhaps a search option. If they're visiting the website, they're probably there for a reason. That reason is probably to find information to help survive a snake bite.

They're probably not interested in photos from your bowling league's banquet. Or songs you wrote inspired by reruns of Mama's Family. Or lists of celebrities you would like to impregnate. Half of these people are dead by the way. That's just creepy. And Bert Parks? Seriously? He's a dude. Where's the fetus going to gestate?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell. I'm a little emotional. A rattlesnake bit my friend Tommy on a hike yesterday. Google led me to your site and, well, you know what happened next. You've read the lawsuit.

No, he was not comforted by the photos of you holding a bowling trophy as his life slipped away. If anything, your website made him angry, his blood pressure to rise and sending the poison coursing through his veins even faster. All of this is covered in the lawsuit, which I watched you read.

I'm beginning to think you don't know what words mean.
