I find it AMAZING you have an actual client related to us. This means
you have a client whose content is somehow complimentary to this hacker
site. I cannot imagine another hacker site paying money to "exchange
links". You think NMRC, a hacker site, wants to "exchange links" with
anyone? I have great friends who deserve links to their site and I haven't
got around to doing it yet.

Ah crap, that's it, isn't it? Man this is so embarassing. Your client is
attrition.org. And they had to resort to some lame "linkbuilder" site.
What a major netiquette blunder. I mean I should have picked up on the
social clues -- the decoder ring syncronization party, the wild porn
exchange, taking turned comparing turned-down FOIA requests for our FBI
files -- I should have realized it was all for a link exchange.

Well, since nmrc.org is a hobby site that SELLS NOTHING, and we get well
over a million hits PER MONTH, why would I like to increase traffic? It is
hard enough keeping up with demand as it is. Did you know that for every
request that comes in via the web, WE SEND A REPLY AND CHARGE NOTHING FOR
IT? You ask yourselves, "how?" and we reply "volume".

What the hell is a "free-for-all link exchange"? And I thought you had a
client? Are you your own client? Is this really Jericho?

Now you are back to speaking about "client" in the third person again.
Whatever. Really dude, you and I BOTH should stop doing coke.

You might find this somewhat shocking, but I am not interested in
exchanging links. At this point I am so embarassed, it would seem like
pity exchange. I say we back up and start over, THEN exchange links.

As am I, future link brother!

That would NEVER be the case, Jericho.

Unless of course this really ISN'T Jericho, which would make this spam. If
it is spam, you are the absolute worst marketing analyst in the world. In
that case, remove all nmrc.org addresses from your spam list, and send me
a reply stating you have done so.

Hrm. I'm thinking you should report Joe Anne to the FBI. She clearly
states that SHE will add the link from her client to you. Only way she
could do that is if she had administrative access to the machine, or
violated Title 18 laws, which is a federal offense. That is not nice!

Hey, leave the wild porn exchange out of it. You consented to that email
and I have the signed letter in your blood and cum.

You guys stopped selling babies to the far east?!

I'll take the spare!

And remove all attrition.org aliases since you'll no doubt try to spam us
too...
