Overheard from a local entrepreneur at 1 AM online:

I WILL TELL YOU WHAT I FUCKING HATE.
I HATE EMAIL.
YOU CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEEN
"HEY, I'M AWAY ON VACATION UNTIL THE 6TH"
FROM
"HEY, THIS USER DOES NOT EXIST"
OR
"HEY, CLICK ON THIS TO GET THIS EMAIL DELIVERED"
WELL, YOU COULD IF PEOPLE ACTUALLY PAID ATTENTION
AND USED THE RFC (1894)
BUT NOPE,
PEOPLE JUST SHOVE IN WHATEVER THE DANDY OLD FRICK THEY WANT
HELL, MICROSOFT EVEN SHIPS REPLIES
AS BASE-64 ENCODED PROPRIETARY OUTLOOK ATTACHMENTS
BECAUSE WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN EXCHANGE SERVER
CARE ABOUT WHAT'S IN AN EMAIL?

THAT IS IT:
I AM MOVING OUR CORPORATE MESSAGING INFRASTRUCTURE TO MYSPACE.
