One to Share with the Class

Just got this email from one "Sandor Nagy."

I recently purchased and finished reading "Luke Skywalker and the shadows of Mindor". I must say, I have read over 30 Star Wars EU books and have loved every one except for Mindor. What utter rubbish! Lucasfilm should be ashamed of this amateurish work. What a waste of $8.00 of hard earned money. And what a shame that you were allowed to publish such garbage!

My response, in sum:

I shudder to think of the horrific anguish inflicted upon you by my little Star Wars book (one of over 30 you've read! Gosh, you must be smart!).

Your $8.00 was wasted . . . and it was hard earned! I am overcome . . . I tremble with shame . . . would that my tears could be diamonds, that I might cry you a river of money to heal your wounded heart!

Tragically, all my sympathy has been wasted on people who are not pompously self-righteous ignorant rat cunts with Internet access.

Excuse me. I have to go kill myself now.

Best always,

Matthew W. Stover

Oh, and by the way . . .

The email address it came from was:

zbud@zbud.com

Just in case any spambots might like to weigh in on the subject.

EDIT: Sorry for the typo. I meant "rat cunts." Corrected above.
