Here is my original e-mail.

Here is a whiny baby response.

Then.... more whining follows.

Then I chime in with an answer:
Because it was already said e-mails ago that it was a spelling mistake, yet
you insist on spelling it wrong to make some point no one cares about.

It basically goes on to whine about some misspelling that's already been
corrected.  Then he explains that he hasn't gotten laid in years and that
his mother beat him as a child.  Then, after the sniveling and bitching, he
finally finishes:

> Should I invest anything in someone purporting to represent my interests

(Like his last date?)

The point is you shouldn't.  Don't they make a 12 step program for people
like you?  Why do you insist on filling my mailbox with crap like this?
