PRO TIP: If you are sending cold marketing emails to people who are almost as excited about deleting them as they are about not getting them in the first place, make sure you remember to actually state •what the hell you’re asking for•.

Yes, I can infer what they mean — DO NOT explain in my replies — but the vagueness of this email still cracks me up. Their head is so far up the butt of their employer they’ve forgotten that “having a story live” is in-job jargon, meaningless to their reader.

I like to read that message in a mad scientist voice — or maybe Dr. Strangelove — with “live” pronounced as the verb instead of the adjective:

“I am…highly interested in have a few stories…liiiiiive!! BWAHAHAHAHA”

This BS has gotten utterly out of hand.

innig.net is my personal web site. It mostly consists of piano recordings (mostly made in my living room) and poems I wrote in my 20s. Parts of it predate the general availability of CSS.

Yes, by all means, show it to your 1.8M prospective investors. Sure. This learned business shark is too cunning to be understood, at least by this simple redhead.

@inthehands I'd be tempted to encourage you to waste their time - if I wasn't also firmly of the opinion that your time is more valuable than theirs

@scubbo
Yeah, I had a similar thought about both of these messages — and reached a similar conclusion about who the bigger loser would be.
