Do not reply

Excuse me?

I’ll think you’ll find that you sent me the unsolicited email.  So who the hell are you to tell me what I should and shouldn’t do?

Sending an email from an address such as do-not-reply@igonorant-arseholes.com is akin to phoning your mate and saying:

Hi there, I’ve got something to tell you.  I don’t want your opinion on what I’ve got to say, nor am I looking for any answers.  I’m just going to talk at you for a bit and then hang up.

Those with any sort of self-esteem would hang up first, of course.  Obviously, injecting an abrupt:

How about you fuck off

before doing so would be ideal.

If you want people to buy a product, converse with them.  It doesn’t matter whether it’s credit cards (yup, that’s you Tesco; every little bit helps you know) or music (Polydor – you’re on the ropes, don’t make it worse for yourselves), allow your customers to speak to you.

They’ll like you all the more for it.
