somebody's been googling himself
Posted this little tale a few days ago. Today I got an email:
From: TonyStephensVP@aol.com
To: tidokoro@gmail.com
Date: Aug 30, 2006 7:46 AM
Subject: Re: The Shit List
Dear Sir,
Apparently, you have chosen to cause damage to our company with your comments on a web site known as The Shit List.
My company sent you an email and perhaps it was an error, at this time I do not know how it may have happened, I only know that it did.
If this email was objectionable you merely needed to contact me and I would have taken efforts to have made sure it never would have happened again.
Regardless, our company name is now being damaged by your comments that appear on this unflattering web site. I am contacting you to ask respectfully that this be immediately removed so that it no longer appears in a Google Search.
Once again, I respectfully await your reply in the hope that this matter can be handled amicably between us.
With Best Regards,
Tony Stephens

comments:Your letter is almost verbatim to one I received, no idea how they got my email - I only give it out to people I know or companies I WANT to have it.
"...your company for several reasons, not the least
of which is your location, has an apparent ability to meet their needs."
"Please let me know the name of someone, that can assist me with your services, and I will contact you with more details."
What kind of grammatical construction is this? If YOU want assistance with MY services, why are YOU going to send me more details? What are the OTHER reasons my "company" has the "apparent" ability to meet needs, besides "location"?
Anyway, all in all, good fun - roasting "telespasmeters"
