I run into this issue frequently. My mom bullied me into creating a "wedding website," with links to registries and everything, which makes sense I suppose.

It frustrates me that the internet is so convenient that I couldn't bear live without it, and yet it's the root of all these crazy Big Brother complexes. Grr.
