I will serve no whine before its time

If you send me an e-mail asking me to respond, and I take time out of my day to craft a thoughtful response to your question, I do not expect to receive a canned message from your mailbot saying that in order to get past your spam filters I must click on a special link and fill out a form to validate my e-mail address, otherwise my message can't be delivered to your inbox.

"LISTEN UP YOU MORON. I DON'T CARE IF YOU EVER GET MY REPLY. I WAS DOING YOU A FAVOR, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. FIX YOUR SPAM FILTERS OR GET A DIFFERENT EMAIL ACCOUNT."

Some days, it's the little things that launch me into orbit.

Also received in the inbox was an extremely belated thank you from a library director who had sent me a letter begging for copies of my books to add to the collection of his small library. The letter is nearly a year late. A simple email acknowledgment at the time would have been appreciated, but as it is, even the most flowery letter can't make up for the delay.

How rude!
Definitely, the spam filters should be set so that if that person initiates email contact, the emails contacted will be allowed to respond.

Pwincess Fwowah Beah calls the protocol police on them all!

The protocol police is too kind. *ZOT* 'em all.

When I come into my power, they will be first against the wall.

Or maybe second. It's a pretty long list.
