Really, this email exchange is par for the course if you work in ANY technologically related field to which the general public has access. Still, the mind-boggling-ness remains. For a full disclosure of what poor Johnny was dealing with either keep reading about the jump or visit the link at the bottom of the post.

I feel sorry for your city.

CentOS is an operating system. It is probably installed on the computer
that runs your website.

We hope you are happy with it, since we produced it for free and you are
able to use it without paying us … and are even threatening to have us
arrested for providing to you free of charge.

Please contact someone who does IT for you and show them the page so
that they can configure your apache webserver correctly.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes,
CentOS 4 Lead Developer
