At and old company, we were dealing with the acquisition of a new product, and with it a new, more vocal user base that often expressed itself on USENET. The CTO went on our website, followed some links to a 3rd party website, hit a nntp:// link that opened Outlook Express on a newsgroup, then was all up in arms the next day: "What are all these negative comments doing on our website!?"
Yes, it was something like 2001, and we had a software company CTO that didn't know the difference between http and nntp and Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.
He once saved the CEO/founder 2 million dollars. Afterward, he was considered a saint, and we've had to deal with his technical incompetence ever since.

To quote Zed Shaw: Steak and Strippers, Baby!
It seems your CTO also didn't know the difference between your website and other websites. He must have had one hell of a personality.
He once saved the CEO/founder 2 million dollars. Afterward, he was considered a saint, and we've had to deal with his technical incompetence ever since.
