About a week ago, I received the following e-mail (with no subject line no less):
DO YOU HAVE GREYS ANATOMY SEASON 4 THE COMPLETE SEASON AVAILABLE AND HOW
MUCH
THANKS
JESSICA
The all-caps e-mail message. I haven’t received one of those in a long time. We’re almost ten years into the new century. E-mail etiquette is now widely known, at least it should be. Sending a message all in caps means, of course, that you’re shouting. Had Jessica been mad at me, then all caps would have been appropriate. I did not think, however, that Jessica really intended to yell her request for Grey’s Anatomy Season 4.
Anyways, I do not know Jessica if you’re wondering. You might also be wondering why she’s asking me for Grey’s Anatomy Season 4. It probably has something to do with the fact I have a few pages on this site about bootleg DVDs. Keep in mind, no where does it state nor imply that I make, distribute, import, or conjure up bootleg DVDs. I simply show how some bootleg DVDs have inferior image quality compared to the real thing.
Over the years, I received about three or four of these types of messages. Now that torrents are all the rage, there’s really no reason to be looking for bootleg DVDs.
By the way, I looked up Jessica’s e-mail address domain. It looks like she lives in or near Atlanta. Knowing that isn’t really relevant to this post but it sure adds to the word count.
This happens quite a bit in MMO’s I find and usually by those 18 and under. I so hate it and have one repeat offender of this on my ignore list. The other is someone we “run with” and so I just tell him to stfu when he slips.
