Subject: hello

Hi, my name is tyler, I've been all over your site, it's well built,
that story about what happened during the Republican Convention is
really convicting, I had no idea that law enforcement and the
government in general could be so uncaring, but what scares me more is
that they have enough power to pretty much silence something like
that, I had no idea anything like that happened until I read it on
your site.

The point of this email is to ask for some advice, I was wondering if
you could teach me how to "acquire" passwords?
I'm a rather large fan of Social Engineering, but it isn't a very...
consistent method of information gathering, any "help" would be
greatly appreciated.

why do you put quotes around "acquire" and "help"?

I don't know... to sound cool I guess.
I guess to explain my situation a little better, I've been reseaching
hacking for quite sometime now, and I'm just looking for a brain to
pick...
If it's too much trouble I apologize for the inconvience.

take this how you please but..

if you have been researching hacking for "quite sometime now", and haven't 
figured out any ideas past social engineering, or have no leads or guesses 
on how it might be done.. hacking isn't for you.
