Email: Window to the soul(less)
Thursday, Apr 26, 2001
Since every email address that ends in '.fury.com' goes to me (but not for much longer. Check for an announcement in the next couple hours), I get dozens of emails each day from spammers, mailing lists, and other email broadcasters to random email addresses @fury.com.

One or two each day are from an MSN community someone signed up for with a fury.com address. It's the 'X-Men Hangout' and after reading a few of the messages I get from there, I see now that I was clearly wrong when I said that daytime soaps might be the root of TV evil. I understand now that it's animated cartoons.

It would be easy for me to fix the mistake and unsubscribe the address from the list, but I just can't bring myself to do it, when insights into humanity (and I use the word in its loosest possible fashion) like this one from 'Drak_Vampiella' make it to my inbox:

    "My ideal man would be like doom powerful... ice man and gohan look after me but i want proper love... my pic... Please help me. I WANT SINGLE EVIL MEN LIKE DOOM OR SOMEONE LIKE THAT."

Then again, I should use my powers for good. Maybe I should try to get Ms. Vampiella together with Sergeant First Class Bruner.

If you like it, please share it.
