Below is a slightly editted email I received from some really stupid people. Just because you can stretch a balloon until it breaks doesn't mean it is a good idea. Just because I might own a reallystupiddomain.ORG doesn't mean I want junk email about a reallystupiddomain.COM.Maybe you do can you can contact these really stupid spammers, and help them in their quest to stop cyber squatters! I would also like to sell you the brooklyn bridge.
I am sure we could come up with a list of 10 better ways for them to promote their service without waking me up with their stupid emails. Yes, Wilbur does have an alarm clock buzzer hooked to his inbox so he never misses an email.
