The Soapbox: Rants and Commentary:

The "Pleasures" of Visitor Feedback

By Dan O'Leary

In the years I've been piecing together this monstrocity of Web site, one of the things I enjoy and still marvel at is the number of interesting strangers you can chat with. With the weird number of topics on my site, I've talked to people as far away as Japan, and as close as the Toms River (the next town over). Most of these chats don't last long, but a few have been lasting friendships.

The problem is these quality chats are often buried between dozens of what's quoted below. My e-mail is sometimes flooded by nimrods who entertain themselves by filling out Web forms.

After a couple of e-mails from the guy below, it was time to do something about it. I decided to write back and post them here for your edification, and included his e-mail address so that one might be able to discuss the postings with the sender. Not that I recommend that sort of thing -- that would be bad -- but, who am I to dictate others' behavior?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has to deal with this. Amateur Webmasters, take heed. Hit 'em back and make it public. I'll be adding others to this as they develop. And if anyone has their own stories to tell, send them along.

Thanks so much for writing. Imagine, being able to determine one's sexual preference by browsing a Web site. And having all that free time to spend cruising Web sites to use this talent. I would suggest, however, taking a little time to peruse a grammar book so as not to misrepresent your vast intellect.

Also, while I am not not gay, I'm sure there are many online groups that share your fascination with homosexuality and anal penetration.

The following has been a work of sarcasm. Your email will be posted to my site so that others may laugh at you as well.
