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.

Well, Janet/Burt thank you for your input. I'll pass along your advice to Esenam himself. You wouldn't happen to be starving would you?

How did I know somebody would do that?

Subject: Angel
I think Angel should look over at the dictionary once in a while when he writes his emails.
I mean, he is already in the library using the computer that I helped pay for the least he could do is get it right.
Perhaps he should write a weekly feature column? The counting was my favorite part.
Well he did promise constant emails, but he gave up quickly.

Mr. Briggs,
I have to ask- what the heck is that whole "hollywood" thing in the posted rant? I understand that as a middle-aged person, I'm not expected to grasp the nuances of slang, but this is so far out that I don't have a clue. I'm just curious.
That slang comes from Angel's own little world.
That's all for this week!
