politics: Oops.
So yeah. I got e-mail from Mark J. Yannone.
Decided I didn't need the stress. Was mildly curious about how he got the e-mail address, but only mildly; it's pretty easy to find if you go looking. Deleted it.
Had second thoughts. Realized I'd promised to post any responses I got.
Feel mildly guilty about calling him a nutbar. Petulant, certainly. Politically utopian (read: unrealistic). Definitely of the shoot-the-mouth-off-first, think-second, variety. But nutbar was probably a bit strong.
Anyway. Went to retrieve the e-mail and forward it to a friend so they could read it and post it for me so I would have some removal from the thing.
Unintentionally had already clicked 'empty trash'. Yannonemail gone.
Mr. Yannone, if you're reading, could you resend? Thankyew.

Was it an actual, personalized letter?
I assume so. I didn't actually read it at all; deleted it unread. And I noticed a search string in my server stats that is consistent with his stumbling on my (let's face it) less-than-complimentary blog entry and firing off a response.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but I didn't "fire off" a response. I simply replied--calmly, considerately, with all due attention to detail--just so you could delete it unread.
