Email of the year

Well it took all 365 days to figure out the funniest email I’ve gotten all 2004, but here she is. This gem was sent to CarbWire on the 31st:

Name: Jerome Lackamp
Email: lack2@adelphia.net
Message: I have wondered who would reach for the bottom of the cesspool of popup advertising.  Congratulations:You get the prize!. 

A. Many people wish to listen to music as they work on the internet. Impossible, when your spoken message interrupts.

B. What makes you think that I or anyone else is interested in your product: your assumptions are rude and totally counter-productive. If ever I should want such a product, I would certainly remember your extreme vulgarity of a loud message, and I promise that I would avoid your product at all costs. You can be sure that I shall report this message to the responsible agencies in Washington: why is this any different from phone calls which I do not want?

If there is such a thing as taking my name off your distribution list, please do
so.

Let me remind you that CarbWire has no pop-ups, ads with sound, or really anything else besides text ads (really quite text too). Oh and we have no products. Or a "distribution" list.

Call Washington though, tell them about your spyware problem.
