Except as is pointed out it's quite easy to see a pattern.
Better would be to insert the reference to the website randomly, e.g. after the 1st, 2nd and 3rd characters.

I tihnk the point of this article isn;t for someone to blindly follow what;s been written but to invent their own way of using the websites url mixed with a base password to come up with an easy to remeber combo.
eg.
pass12 and b3ta could become anything from pass12b3 to passta12 to pass12cunts

After reading Scary Duck's Fab letter of complaint I was reminded of something I used to do. I never thought one line was enough to explain why I had left negative feedback on ebay so I direct people to my site for the full story.
Warning 1) This is probably only of interest to people who use ebay
Warning 2) There are many many many words.

It's impossible to tell if she is a deliberate scammer or just an illiterate nutcase.
I looked up her house on StreetView, and sadly there is no sign of anything mental. I was hoping to see thousands of china swans in the garden.

I had to deal with a seller doing similar things for similar seemingly insignificant amounts. Had a look at the feedback and found that they had been very distressed that their packages kept getting lost in the post. They'd been getting lost in the post for at least 18 months, with the 'Christmas rush' invoked, the 'Easter hiatus', the lesser spotted "Summer holiday malaise', etc.
She did eventually send a 'replacement' (I sent it about a months ago, guv!) and when it arrived - bear in mind that the item was three live water snails - they were wrapped in damp toilet tissue inside a childrens' jewellery box. She also begged to be given positive feedback.

Evolution Intro
Rotterdam Termination Source - Feyenoord
DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer - Fuckin’ Hardcore
Soundbites - CrazyHyperShit
Concord Dawn - Morning Light (Klute remix)

By Rotterdam Termination Source, is one of my personal favourites and I have an original release version.
The only other name I recognise on that mix (gonna have to listen at home) is Lenny Dee. A mate of mine who has terrible, multiple form for this sort of thing once went up to Lenny Dee backstage at a party and unwittingly asked: "Oi! Mate! When's Lenny Dee on?"

A little lunchtime game for you! Control the fish in his running machine and jump, duck & kick obstacles to see how far you can get!
We were randomly assigned team members to take on programming, artist and sound responsibilities. The challenge was to then create a new game, from scratch, within 48 hours!
While I didn't make the game itself, I produced all the voiceovers AND music!

top letter, but legally, you should have stopped driving the car immediately on realising it had faulty brakes, but good luck with it all the same!
.
Just keep the pressure on - you will get your money back eventually, especially if you start adding reasonable charges for your time, effort and out-of-pocket expenses in dealing with the problem (i.e. postage and stationery costs)
.
also - don't wait to write to Trading Standards and your credit card company, do it anyway and CC the car company in. Your credit card company is ultimately liable as you actually purchased the service from them!

the metal posts the feet are bolted to have actually been accepted by the cat's immune system as normal bone. Skin and marrow are starting to grow around (and in) it.
From a medical standpoint this is an astounding breakthrough.

they crafted special bio feet, similar to those of Robocop. They fire lazer beams and can launch the cat up to 540ft in a single bound.
