Here is another email I recently received - How not to write to an author..!!
Name = Gaz Ellington of the Shire of Chester
Email = some_clever_address.at.hotmail.com
Country = United Kingdom
Address = Chester
Hello Susan, I studied 'I'm the King of the Castle' for GCSE English Literature, which we very recently completed. Although it is an enjoyable and interesting book, the hours of boring scrutiny and the looking for hidden meanings in every word made the whole two years of studying like Chinese water torture: mentally destroying and painful. In jubilation, my friend Alasdair, and I burnt our copies of the novel today, I have to say it was very satisfying, and the WD40 made them glow with something which one of your child-like similes from the novel could describe. Thank you very much for reading this. Yours sincerely, Gaz Ellington of the Shire of Chester.

You're mistaking toughness for stupidity.
Stupid.

Sleep tight, I hear the AIDS fairy is making his rounds tonight.
The first sign he's there will be a pounding sensation in the ass...

Here is something that pretty much exemplifies how not to write a post: http://www.ubersite.com/cgi-bin/message_get.cgi?user_id=27169

What?
Why would you?
I have already put more thought into this response than you did into the post.

I bet you really want people to call you "GazElle". No one does, though, because you're not in the least bit gazelle-like.
I'm right, aren't I?

Aww. You're not very good at this are you?
I'm sorry. But you keep on trying and one day, I'm SURE you'll have a post that doesn't just absolutely suck balls.
Not today though. No. Not today.

This doesn't make sense on any level. The only solution is to revoke your oxygen rights.
