• Yesterday afternoon while playing Runescape, Dmitry at last really
  "connected" with another player via on-line chat, having a fairly long
  conversation.

  Came happily into the living room, essentially demanding to know where this
  has been all his life.  What's utterly astounding is how he 
  -  as do many of us, I daresay  -  takes at full face
  value whatever someone in chat says.  As an example, he has a real
  problem in Runescape with keeping his connection.  For some
  reason, it tends to be regularly lost, though it doesn't happen to me
  when I'm on that
  computer.  Most likely because of the wireless router used for
  that one, I'd think, but whoever it was Dmitry was chatting with opined
  the culprit's the keyboard.

  The keyboard? 

  Dmitry spent at least five minutes trying to convince his father he needs a new keyboard, insisting "But he said....!"

  Don saying, "No, Dmitry, it has nothing to do with the keyboard" was argued against, while the opinion of some guy he's never met before was taken as gospel.
