Methinks the lady doth protest... not at all.

One of my favorite "what the...?" responses is one i get in response to about half the ads I post, and it's some variation on the theme, "You're a faker!"

Yes, that's right, I'm a faker, and thus, clearly, the thing to do is... uh... email me! Now, if I am, in fact, fake, then emailing me will give your email address to either a spambot or someone collecting email addresses for some other purpose. And if I'm not fake, I'm going to delete your email.

Is the hope that I'll protest my innocence, thus sparking an email exchange? I can only imagine that's the case. I wonder if it ever works.

Comments

Sometimes when I get "WTF" replies, I write back and say "Out of curiosity...WTF? Does this WORK for you?!" Invariably, of course, the fella tries to pick me up, which also invariably fails, but sometimes I do get to satisfy my curiosity.
