Have you ever heard the phrase, "ignorance is bliss"?  If I were to tell you 
what the purpose is, you would no longer enjoy it!

> The Postals are really quite amusing!!!!!

You have no idea just how right you are...

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Sclemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated.
We're gonna do it!

Give us any chance, we'll take it.
Give us any rule, we'll break it.
We're gonna make our dreams come true.
Doin' it our way.

Nothin's gonna turn us back now,
Straight ahead and on the track now.
We're gonna make our dreams come true,
Doin' it our way.

There is nothing we won't try,
Never heard the word impossible.
This time there's no stopping us.
We're gonna do it.

On your mark, get set, and go now,
Got a dream and we just know now,
We're gonna make our dream come true.
And we'll do it our way, yes our way.
Make all our dreams come true,
And do it our way, yes our way,
Make all our dreams come true
For me and you.

Also, we like cocaine, hookers, and anal sex. YMMV.

Thank you for your interest.

Attrition is primarily a group of screenwriters for the Sci-Fi channel, we're 
developing a series about Artificial Intelligence and the Swarm, how the internets 
have given birth to a global consciousness, and it's possible impact on humanity.  
We're using the site to document how much personal information people freely feed 
into their computers, our theory is that people are so comfortable at their computers 
that they often overlook the fact that the machines have connections to almost every 
office and household in the world.  We'll use this as a theme throughout our series, 
focusing on the absent-mindedness of most internet users.

Lyger is off tonight, he and our steering committee are preparing for a meeting with 
investors this week.  It's been difficult to set things up because all our email 
exchanges with them are being eaten by our spam filters.  I'm sure he'll be sorry he 
missed you.

It's great that you've visited us, we're always happy to see TV talent from years gone by.  
Are you the same Huggie Bear from the Starsky and Hutch show?  Surely you are, otherwise 
you'd have signed your email "A Huggie Bear" instead of "The Huggie Bear".  How are you 
holding up after all these years?  Perhaps you'll send us a current photo for our celebrity
page.  Be sure to tell us all about yourself so we can include you in one of our shows!  
We're particularly interested in any other email addresses you might have, and what 
Operating System you use.

Does everything have to have a purpose? Can't you just revel in the
cocaine, hookers, and the warm fuzzy glow of camaraderie?

OK, brutal honesty time:  I really don't know what the hell the site
is supposed to be about, Security Curmudgeon is ignoring my IMs, and
Lyger is demanding that I become his sex slave or that he become mine
before he'll tell me the answer to your question.

> The Postals are really quite amusing!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that that you find them amusing.  The Postals are the
only serious section of the site -- an in-depth look at the human
condition from a psychoanalytic perspective.

Do you always go around laughing at others' misery? What kind of
person ARE you, anyway?

You know...I never knew what the hell they were saying, but I assumed it was 
at least English and not the nonsense it sounded like.  Boy was I wrong! %)

This was the perfect ending.  You get 1 million points.

You claim to enjoy the site, but do you *really* enjoy it? Honestly, I
think you're just fucking around with us. You're not being honest.
Frankly, I don't have the time to deal with people pulling my leg, and
neither does anyone else. Hence, why your email is not being taken
seriously by the other members of attrition.org. This may be the internet,
but you still need to show respect for people, and right now, you're not
showing the members of attrition.org one ounce of it.

If you were really interested in what attrition.org is all about, I'd be
more than happy to tell you, as would any of the other attrition.org
members. However, you have treated us with ZERO respect, so why should we
take the time and effort to provide you with an explanation?

> The Postals are really quite amusing!!!!!

Are they????? Now I know you're not serious. They're not supposed to be.
Christ, you really do not understand anything at all about attrition.org,
do you? I don't think you read a single page on our site, *including* the
"Postals." Is this some kind of joke, or were you born with only half a
brain?

> The Huggie Bear

Well aren't you witty? The band, or Starsky and Hutch [and 2004, or
1975?], or the stuffed animal you've been getting a *little* too friendly
with. Are you some kind of furry?

I'll bet you're white, middle class, and male. That leaves only one
option: FURRY.

Written using a free email account. One potential sign of a joke, or
someone being nasty in general. Free email provides you freaks with the
anonymity you need in order to harass people over the internet.
Attrition.org is serious business, and we don't appreciate what you're
doing. The anonymity of the internet does not give you free license to be
an asshole.

Grow the hell up,

You write us an obvious troll email and expect us to just bend over and
take it up the ass? Try treating people with some respect. I don't know
who you think you are, targeting attrition.org with your little joke
email, but we are busy people and don't have time for nasty people, like
you've obviously proven with your response to my email.

"Just that time of the month?" What the hell do you have against
attrition.org? And me personally?

> I hope you find something that will make you feel better about yourself

Kinda like how you troll people in order to feel important? Harassing busy
people by email makes you feel good?

Ah, you're religious. That explains why you're so nasty. You're not the
president, so you're trying to start a war with me instead? Newsflash,
kid, god only answers your prayers if you send him money.

I feel just fine about myself. I don't, however, appreciate receiving
abusive emails out of the blue when I am trying to work. Neither do the
others at attrition.org. Or is this just another joke? How did you
*expect* us to receive your mail? With open arms? Oh yes, we just love
taking it up the ass from random idiots on the web, making fun of our
website as "quite amusing." Who do you think you are?

In fact, how'd you like an account at attrition.org? We really appreciate
having people make fun of the effort we've put into creating this site.
Really. We do.

C&D on all replies please, gang.  I can confirm all of the below.  After putting 
a few things together (mail was originally sent to only me, originating IP address, 
and the time the email was sent), I discovered that "HuggieBear758" is indeed white, 
middle class, and male... as well as 31 years old and drives a grey Ford F250.

He's my boss.
