Do not send your ducks to eagle school

An open letter from Jake to Albert.

Dear Albert,

I decided not to respond to your sarcasm and threats for these reasons:

  1. It is not one of ours.  Check the top of the invoice, it has a different company name
  2. Calling me a cupid stunt does not incentivise me (Edited for family readers)
  3. I am sorry “file permissions are incorrect” does not make any sense to you.  There is no need to let me know if you find a better way to say it
  4. I do not like you.

I was going to leave 4 out as its getting personal, but it is in direct response to your question why I do not respond to your messages instantly.  Perhaps if you were Kimberly Stewart asking me on a date you’d have better luck.

If you are truly tired of living in Jerk City, If you don’t want every day to be a walk down Asshole Avenue, then learn to be civilized, learn to be reasonable.  Or don’t as there is no point sending ducks to eagle school.

Regards,
Jake

boxbe.com is it spam or scam?

4307993_blogJust lately I have been getting an infuriating amount of spam from a company calling itself boxbe – and there’s no way to stop it.  Like most people I rarely take notice of spam, but feel taken when something non spammy looking get’s me to open it.

When you signup to a company and decide later you don’t want anything to do with them it’s usually an easy process to remove your account.  All good forum software and traffic exchanges do that but not these boxbe people.

Somehow their rubbish finds a way through boxtrapper and spam assassin, and because I get caught each time I am wasting more and more time.

They want me to share my contacts with them, maybe they think other people want to receive their spam too!  Or perhaps they think they should be allowed to because facebook does?

They are mad, why would anyone want to do that?
