Now you too can enjoy my Inbox without
the annoying spam. Every week I get some amazing e-mail. Some amazing
because of the sheer cluelessness of the sender, some because of
the time and energy that went into crafting them and some are just
simply amazing.

Jar-Jaromir is still
fooling them ...

You gotta be kinding me, tell me it's not true "There's
this funny scene where Jar-Jaromir decides it's best to hand
the ring over to Sauron, but then he drops it and kicks it
into Mount Doom. Hi-larious." ahh so Jar-Jaromir destroyes
the ring, sorry but i can't believe that cause then they would
be telling the end, and producers never tell the end of film.
Yeah, producers never spoil anything like revealing that
Gandalf is still alive. <shakes head>
Apple Fanatics
Write a story criticizing
Apple users and you're bound to get some e-mail. Many people
misunderstood the point of the article, which wasn't to encourage
piracy, but to make fun of Mac fanatics that drool every time
Steve Jobs opens his mouth. Some of the e-mail was nice, some
not so nice...

Subject: Stealing Music
Yes, you could go to Kazaa, as I have in the past, and steal
a track of music instead of paying a whole dollar for a song
that someone spent time, sweat, and money on to make it sound
the best that it could for their loyal fans. I know that the
music conglomerations are their own worst enemy, but if we
the consumer doesn't at least try to help our favorite band
that band might not be able to make the industry understand
that there is a large fan base, but they only steal the music
they listen to so no one knows. If you are so hard up that
you cannot afford $.99 a song maybe you need to get off your
ass and get a real job.
I'm a compassionate person. If I had ninety-nine cents I
wouldn't waste it on a song. I'd send it over to you so you
could buy a clue.
At the end of that Apple article I
asked the Mac fans, in jest, to send me over a dollar for reading
the article. What do you know...

If I sell my soul, maybe you'll stop using the words 'Neo'
and 'cool' in
the same county, much less the same poll. Hmm...
Nice Apple article - can you take a check?

I guess not everybody appreciates the traffic that BBspot sends
their way. Long time reader and typo-catcher Richie noticed...

Brian,
Did you see this in www.state-ends.com
<script type="text/javascript">

So when we click on your link it throws us back to bbspot.com, that is hilarious

Why put a site on the Internet if you don't want people to
see it?
