Subject: 	[FFML] Real pissed off!

Hey drax, it wasnt spam! This story means alot to me, I put alot of time
and thought
into it! And all that I asked was for a few people to read it, in this
message. And you
call it spam?! That really pisses me off! This stupid mailing list is
suppose to be about fanfics right? But still you classify it as
SPAM!!!?!?!?! I am so sick and tired of this crap!! I never got One good
comment about it, so I spent tons of time going through and doing
plot-outlines and crap. Finally it is finihed and I release it. But what do
I get?
Not a single god damn response!! Just your dumb little message about it
being spam.
Gee, what a spirit booster. Everyone should join *THIS* mailing list. Yea
right.
Well I guess since Nobody likes my story I will discontinue it. So here it
is...
Lost Memories #whatever

	Hey, when I read your message, I thought it was SPAM also.   Why?  Cuz on the subject line, you put, "please read this."  So I thought you meant, "please read THIS mail."  So I read it, it said something about you revising your earilier work.  I said to myself, "What the heck?  All he wanted to tell us was that he was revising his early work and he wants us to read it?"  So I thought you meant read the message on the mail NOT the story.
