. . . they have bad editing in the email department.
I've long been amused at the autoreply that is returned when I send an email to someone on the NY Times's staff. In part, it reads:
Your message is very important to us. We care about the views of our readers. Please do not reply to this message.
Or something very close to that.
I got an (unprovoked) email from them recently, asking me to participate in a survey about their magazine. In order to prevent easy skewing of the survey, a unique identifier came along with the message, and was indicated as:
Your personal PIN # is: C38XT7
I could expand that acronym for you, but I guess the original line is really all the news that's fit fit to print print.

If anybody knows Dan W., please pass this post along to him.
It's an old joke with us.
