Re: you beautiful people
Hi, folks. This has nothing to do with Stef's wonderful post (sorry, Stef!).
I'm having a problem and I need help. Last night, I got a rather indelicately
worded email in a particularly large font from this individual (with the
rather disturbing eddress chrspy69 at aol_com) requesting that I stop sending
him/her/it email. It was followed thereafter by this delightful exchange:
Chrspy69: what is going on
Ysobelle: I have no idea. Are you subscribed to any mailing lists?
Ysobelle: Have you been getting mail from any other addresses?
Chrspy69: none
Chrspy69: yea alot
Ysobelle: Ah. Okay-- what emails are you getting?
Ysobelle: Over the Rhine, or the Goth list?
Chrspy69: from different names but they are usually the same
Ysobelle: Hm. What was the last one you got?
Chrspy69: dont remember just dont email this name again ok
Ysobelle: I'm trying to explain this to you. Somehow, you've
subscribed to a mailing list. I have ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL over you getting
the mail from that list. And I cannot help you unless you tell me what email
you're getting.
Chrspy69: i deleted it all i will have to wait for another to come in
Ysobelle: If you're getting email from the Over the Rhine list, I can
tell you where to go to unsub. If you're getting mail from the Goth list, I
can tell you where to go to unsub from that. Otherwise, you'll continue to
get mail. I am not sending you anything personally. As I said, I don't know
you.
Chrspy69: welli will write you when more comes in
Ysobelle: Fine.
Ysobelle: Oh-- and next time, I'd prefer it if you didn't curse at me.
This was followed this morning by two fwd'd emails from this very list-- the
first one exclaiming, "I told you idiot" and the second, "I told you moron."
As you can tell, this is not a person of the highest intellect. I've tried
explaining carefully that it's nothing to do with me, and I'm rapidly losing
any desire to help them. But somehow, I seem to be the pointgirl here. So if
anyone else can help me help this person reach nirvana, I'd be quite grateful.
