We Get Letters
By QBlog in
I received some wonderful email yesterday about this site and I thought now would be a good time to offer up some tips for anyone who wants to send me an email.
First of all, anything you send me might end up on this site. If you don't want your name published then just use a fake name or better yet, ask me not to publish your name. I've gotten a few emails from people requesting to remain anonymous and I always respect their wishes.
Secondly, please read the FAQ and About sections of this site before sending me a question or complaint. They are purposely brief and succinct so that reading them won't take more than a minute or two. I answer most (but not all) of the email sent to me but I refuse to answer questions that are already posted in the FAQ section of this site.
Thirdly, at least try to read some of the posts on this site before you email me a complaint. I don't expect anyone to read everything here (or even most of it) but I guess getting a rudimentary understanding of what this site is about would help you avoid adding to the collection of ignorant drivel I often find in my inbox.
Or, just ignore the above tips and keep doing whatever makes you happy. I'm just trying to help. I genuinely appreciate every sincere correspondence I receive, both the negative and positive (each for different reasons). Just know that I enjoy running this site and for me, that's all the reason I need to continue doing something.
So, without further ado, here's yesterday's lovely email complete, without any editing on my part. Enjoy.
From Ira:
I suppose my first thoughts are "why would anyone spend so (obviously) much time and energy with a website that does NOTHING but spew out negatives about a particular company or business"??? Do you get your rocks off each night you type out some new negativity that you brewed up???
Secondly, and finally, the biggest problem with most of humanity is their pride will not allow them to take responsibility for their actions (or inactions as the case may be). If you look at every loser that attempts to blame others for their failure, the value of all this verbage by you and others like you is ZILCH! Therefore you are doing nothing but wasting your time on the Internet.
