Bloody mess to them means they would see my every email. One click of a 
script I created and automatically signs me up to one of several free 
mail services(except the ones that use captchas. With a quick viewing 
and type). And bada boom!

I had no assumptions, I viewed the emails and crossreferenced each email 
to the topic listed in past emails. I had no assumptions, if I did I 
wouldn't have sent the email. Also, I try my best to write without 
emotion, I don't really get excited anymore, email are emails are emails 
that contain information. No excitement here.
