Oh sure, you all know who she is. Annah Boyer was the woman who laid into me like some whipping boy because I dared call LifeGem, the company that turns dead people into jewelry, ghoulish…

Anyway, she had the stones to write me another e-mail. Yep, they never go away…

Dear Insignificant Thoughts:

Apparently someone has been doing something called “crawling the web” and emailing folks from my CPR address! I have received a million “out of office replies” but yours is the first odd posting I’ve seen. I googled myself (because I’m getting married soon and wanted to see if our wedding website was up) and saw this terribly odd posting on your blog, with my name and CPR’s name on it! My apologies, and I hope that you don’t think badly of the CPR Institute. I’m sure we’d appreciate it if you’d take that down (since I’m the membership director, I assume I get some googles) but our IT guy says this happens to a lot of people and because my email address is out there, anyone can mail from it. Do let me know if there is any information I can provide to help remove my name and association with CPR from this, ahem, “odd” conversation? You can contact me at any time using the information below. Thanks so much!

Best,
Annah Boyer

Apparently, Annah thinks I’m an idiot, so I had to put her in her place:

I have no problem with the CPR isntitute, but your e-mail was published in accordance with the site policies. Here’s a piece of advice. Next time you want to claim you didn’t send an e-mail, try making sure you didn’t send it from an inside corporate IP. The e-mail stands, since not only did that e-mail come from an inside CPR address, your current e-mail came from exactly that same address. Spammers and mail stealers are smart, but they aren’t that smart.

All the best with your wedding.

You know, I would have had more respect for her, and probably even would’ve removed the post altogether if she had just said, “I screwed up and shouldn’t have wrote all that. Sorry.” Instead, she handed me a line of crap.

Sorry girlie. The post stays because just like the disclaimer on every page says, all e-mails sent to this domain are considered for publication.

Oh, and I think I speak for all of us when I say Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, Annah. I’m proud to be the top search result on Google for your name!
