My Response to NAPW

Dear XXXX,

Thank you for taking the time to contact me through my website. I appreciate the hit . I also appreciate the apology for the mistaken email from NAPW. Your organizations email was absolutely taken as a humorous mistake as you can tell from what I posted. While fans of Repairman Jack may be great in number, we can hardly count ourselves in the billions. The site really only has a few dozen regular posters (I'm guessing) and just about all of them know me well enough to consider me an easy-going, jovial fellow.

However, I can't help what other people may think of a company that randomly selects people and sends unsolicited emails to them (how did you get my email by the way?), requesting membership, money or whatever else may be the life's blood of your organization. I'd never heard of you, and thus, had 0 opinion of you or whatever it is you do. Quite frankly, I still don't have one. So far as I'm concerned we can have a mutual parting of ways and be none the poorer for it. But I can't really ask someone to change a negative post about a person or organization to which I don't have a negative or positive opinion. I honestly don't know that you aren't a clandestine organization intent on scouring the electronic halls of the internet, ferreting out the weak to cull their information for your own secret, nefarious purposes. Gee, I really hope that isn't so. But I would hope that anyone who found my post in a search would take the extra step to be detail-oriented enough to read through all posts in the thread to discern for themselves that none of us knew anything about NAPW except that I'd gotten an email in error and that a small group of us were distantly entertained by it. What I have done was post your message to me in the thread so that you may defend yourself, but you can definitely feel free to expound your position by joining and explaining exactly what NAPW does and reach out to our female contingency. We have at least 3 women.

Sincerely,

Gerald Rice

PS- If it is still your intention to have the post removed, I would suggest contacting the originator of the post. I have no ability to delete someone else's and your appeal would be better suited with him.
