[THIN] Re: WAY OT: Making a URL look like it is actually residing on anothe r site

They used an '@' character, as you can use it to supply credentials in a
(should that be "an" from a grammatical perspective ;-) ) URL.

So in effect you could have something like:-

http://support.microsoft.com/q00000@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/funnywebpage.htm

Dunno whether you'd need a protocol specifier before the true URL.
