More fun with Scootersdirect2u!

UPDATE: It occurred to me that this portion of this post was not clear, hence the update. This is my email to the Scooterdirect character- "I'm trying to do my part to promote your business and so this afternoon I shared our recent email exchange with the readers of my blog, Wasted Electrons. Its a small group of folks that routinely stops by to read what I have to say but it will also show up in Google soon if anyone searches for your name there. The link to the post is: here. Regards, Nate" And this was his response:

OHHHH SIR,

IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT MARKETING. I ASSURE YOU THE LOSS IS ALL YOURS. YOU MAY FEEL FREE TO POST YOUR MESSAGES ON A BILLBOARD IN TIMES SQUARE AND NO ONE WILL CARE. YOU SEEM TO BE A VERY EDUCATED PERSON,BUT OFCOURSE WITH NO COMMON SENSE. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO READ A BOOK AND I'M SURE YOU HAVE PUBLISHED A FEW IN YOUR DAY. BUT IN THE REAL WORLD YOU WILL NEVER MAKE IT. YOU MUST RESORT TO BELITTLING WAYS AND DEMEANING LANGUAGE TO OTHERS. IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WILL BE A BOOKWORM OR A COLLEGE PROFESSOR ALL YOUR LIFE. TELL ME HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LIVE ON A FIXED INCOME AND LIVE LIKE AN ANT ALL YOUR LIFE. NEVER TAKE CHANCES AND JUST WAIT FOR THAT CHECK TO COME IN EVERY OTHER WEEK. WHEN YOU SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE YOU REALIZE ONLY THAT YOU HAVE NOT DONE A THING AND ARE STILL PAYING OFF A MORTGAGE. YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE MUST BUDGET THEMSELVES TO AFFORD ANYTHING AND YOU MUST THINK TWICE BEFORE SPENDING ANY MONEY. KINDA BORING LIFE YOU LEAD, IS IT NOT?

SO LET ME CONCLUDE BY TELLING YOU THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT EBAY, MARKETING, SALES OR PROMOTIONS. STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW BEST: NOTHING. SIT IN YOUR ROCKING CHAIR, WAIT FOR THE CHECK FROM THE UNIVERSITY YOU WORK FOR AND CONTINUE LIVING ON YOUR FIXED INCOME.

NOW LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MYSELF. I AM 27 YEARS OLD, I'VE OWNED AND OPERATED A 40 MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR BUSINESS AT THE AGE OF 20. I'VE TRAVELED FIRST CLASS AROUND THE WORLD AT LEAST THREE TIMES. MY ACCOUNTANT TELLS ME THAT I FRIVOUSLY SPEND $250,000 A YEAR ON NONSENSE, BUT HE ALSO TELLS ME THAT MY NET WORTH IS $80 MILLION DOLLARS. I HAVE A TENTH GRADE EDUCATION, I COME TO WORK IN CUTOFF SHORTS, BASEBALL CAP, SNEAKERS, BUT I DRIVE A $100,000 CAR. I THINK THESE FEW DETAILS SHOULD MAKE YOU REALIZE THAT YOU WASTED YOUR LIFE WITH NONSENSE. POST THAT ON YOUR WEBSITE. WHEN I SIT BACK IN MY ROCKING CHAIR AT THE AGE OF 65 WITH A WOMAN HALF MY AGE AND THINK BACK ON MY LIFE, I KNOW I WILL HAVE ONE BIGASS SMILE ON MY FACE. CAN YOU SAY THE SAME??

Of course, this marketing genius uses AOL for his email, has a busted CAPS lock key on his keyboard, does NOT have a secretary to manage his business correspondence and doesn't have a name. He thinks a 10th grade education is acceptable and he doesn't dress presentably enough to be employable by anyone but himself.

Note that in his earlier email, I was too ignorant to understand scooters and he recommended that I get a bicycle. In this email I'm very educated but with no common sense.

He probably wears his baseball cap twisted sideways on his head and thinks that is a fashion statement too! Heh, I'm done.
