What are they smoking in Redmond?
It's supposedly a violation of netiquette to post a private email. So sue me.
Actually, I seriously doubt that this was "email" in any real sense, because only a 'bot could be stupid enough to be this off the mark...I hope.
Please note that I used MSN's feedback form, and that the subject was taken from a drop-down list that THEY supplied. Even an automated response system should be able to do better than this.
If I hear anything more about this, I'll probably post it.
