One of my favorite movies is Tropic Thunder. It sports a brilliant script and Oscar-worthy acting by its cast; Robert Downey Jr. was nominated for best performance by an actor in a supportive role.
In a scene from that movie, Robert Downey Jr. says:
“You went full retard, man. Never go full retard.”
When you represent a large domain outfit, such as Rick Latona’s auctions, sending me spam about selling this very blog, Acro.net, shows that you are an ignorant spammer.
To follow up, a week later, with another email denotes that you are going full retard and don’t check who you’re emailing. Active web sites, particularly active blogs, aren’t for sale, retard.
Full retard title goes to a Matt Kennedy of Latona’s, who signs the email. I want to believe that Rick Latona, who recently graduated from the Harvard Business School, does not condone this relentless spamming practice.
Keeping such knuckleheads employed hurts your business, and the domain industry.
That was a great movie! Ben Stiller, Robert Downey, Jr., Jack Black, with an appearance by Matthew McConaughey as Rick “Pecker” Peck. My favorite were the Nick Nolte Danny/McBride pyrotechnic pair – that was a movie in iteslf!
As for the email headline, it got your attention! Ha ha.
Theo,
I got the same email……not sure what’s happening over there.
Bad business.
Louise – Did you receive the same email, only with your own domain in the subject?
Steve – What is happening, is that some overzealous employee will be getting fired over this.
Update: After receiving yet another email today, I spoke with Rick Latona, a pleasant surprise. His employee is ‘wet behind the ears’ apparently. A ‘do not contact’ list wasn’t used and that led to getting a total of four emails over a domain that is not for sale.
