nice response Wink

i'm taking about 30 job lads with the same loose attitude. I answer in short sentences and hope to lose some lads on the way. Some already began to get confused as to what am I talking about sending messages saying 'what do you mean?'

some have turned as concise as me.

okay...... is still not concise enough.

It should read ok.

It helps to streamline email traffic. Remember "a byte wasted is lost forever" Wink

Wasnt there someone on here about a year ago that ran the ok modality? I just remember laughing my butt off at the simplicity.

I'm being so concise I tend to miss a lot of details... therefore they have to ask a lot instead of me bothering to ask Wink

and i've got about 30 of them Wink

it's fun seeing the lads being forced to explain and ask for my info again and again Razz

Steve Brimley was the guy I think. I use the simple "ok" a lot in my baits. It saves me time from reading the demands, and builds anger in the lads without insult. The insults come later.

That might have been me. I had my catcher auto-responding OK for several months. One mugu responded six times; most of them gave up after two or three. I also had one legitimate person asking a question related to a site I had signed the guestbook on, and one warner I had to appologise to. So if you try it, remember to check the box regularly, but it's a good way to see the first few emails before you decide to bait.

@SP, still to long, try ' . '

(Or better yet just a blank e-mail)

(Heck, I've got to try that)

I accidentally did that once! (Long story as to HOW that happened.) The lad was already on-edge about things going wrong, and his response was a panicky, really long-winded "WHY DID YOU SEND ME A BLANK EMAIL???? WHAT IS HAPPENING????" sort of thing. It was fantastic. Laughing

Wish I still had that email saved somewhere, but I lost that account and hadn't yet learned to keep backup copies.

I'd highly recommend it! Twisted Evil

That's just awesome. I tried it once and it didn't work for me. I responded with "?" in one of my e-mails, and when my mugu got confused I explained it with a "!". He got mad as hell and called me (imagine this) a joker, thus ending the bait. Glad it worked for someone else though, even if your mugu is playing "two can play at that game" with you.

My lads know the difference between ok and k.

They understand I am seriously unhappy with them when I reply with k and not ok or okay.
