Subject: Password expiry notification ... Open this mail for details !!!

Dear Jayprakash Keshav Acharya,

Your E-mail ID password is going to expire in next 7 days on 10/27/2006 9:04:27 AM at Indian Standard Time. Change your password NOW!!! It is recommended that you do not wait till the last day of password expiry!!!
Refer FAQ on Password Policy for the procedure to change the password and the precautions to be taken while changing password to avoid account lockouts. Extranet users can refer to FAQ by accessing Main Page -> Mail -> FAQ on Password Policy.

Please note that your password must be a combination of uppercase, lowercase, numeral and non-alphanumeric (special) characters. For example, it may be like "$M1cH37Bo".

Upon changing your password, you need to WAIT at least for 15 minutes, before you can use the NEW password. We recommend you to change the password while you are connected to LAN and just before you logout for the day.

Contact your local CCD for any further help.

Thanks for your co-operation,

Some of sentences in the mail, such as "Change your password NOW!!!" are in bold red, just to make it more frieghtening!! I take a deep breath and click on "FAQ on Password Policy". I am going to do this. I am going to understand this and do it correctly. So I click on FAQ on Password Policy. It opens up. And it is six pages long!! I need to study a six page document just to change my password!!! That's ridiculous. How can anybody be expected to read a six page document to change his password?! Why can't simple things be kept simple? Why are things made so complex? That's the reason I hate it.
