To the robots who are programmed to swipe my e-mail address from everywhere on the net:
I do not want software to spy on other people. I already have two legitamite degrees of my own that I earned, and am going to go for a third. I don’t care about your weight-loss system. I have all the inkjet cartridges I need. I don’t smoke as it is, so I don’t need to quit.
I have no need for a “no down payment” mortgage. My credit card payments are just fine, thank you. Your investment plans do not interest me. I don’t care about making $1200 a week in your little “no-risk moneymaker.” I’m sure everyone else is a winner too.
I don’t need anything enlarged. I don’t need medication of any kind, and definitely not the kind you’re peddling. Your “celebrity” pictures are doctored, and I don’t care anyway. I don’t want to see you on a webcam doing anything, much less what you claim you’ll be doing.
If you have more than three letters in a row on your e-mail address that don’t make up part of a name, you’re deleted. If you have more than 5 numbers in a row on your e-mail address, you’re deleted. If you sent anything to my Yahoo! account, you’re immediately deleted, because I don’t use it for anything but a throwaway e-mail address anyway. If you send me mail from a Hotmail account and aren’t in my address book, you’re deleted.
In short, go away.
Does that mean you never read my email, but just deleted it? sniff sniff.
It’s almost as annoying as telemarketing. Well, maybe more annoying — when someone calls for “Mr. or Mrs. Ryan Walker” to inform me that we have just won a free cruise (if we spend $375 on magazines), I can usually find a creative way to annoy the person. I can’t DO anything to a computer-generated message, and that just makes me mad.
