Blogroll:
I've been meaning to start a couple of features on the blog: "Fan Mail" and "The Mail I Get".
Generally, considering the kind of stuff I publish on the Web, I get two kinds of email from strangers:
I will be blogging email of type #1 under "Fan Mail" for my personal aggrandisement. I will be blogging email of type #2 under "The Mail I Get" for general instruction and/or amusement. (I also get a third kind of email that either requests information from me (e.g. "Where can I buy the Codex Seraphinianus?", which I get about once a month) or points me toward some bit of information I might have missed. While I appreciate the latter and try to answer the former promptly, this mail is not of general interest.)
Today's bit of my inbox comes from a guy I would classify as a "URL" (Unknown in Real Life) -- that is, a net acquaintance I have never met face-to-face, but who would probably be a friend if I had a better opportunity to get to know him better.
Note that most email snippets I quote will have identifying information blotted out Victorian-style, as in "In the early hours of the 25th of the month of D-------, Mr. S---- C---- bellowed a great 'Ho ho ho!', laid a finger aside of his nose, and slipped down the chimney as quick as a w---." 2f4890bdc202d884fb04c428aaef9ca5
To which Marty, looking over my shoulder, merely snorted and said, "Too bad you don't."
Sniff.
