So this is like the fourth or fifth time this has happened to me. Of all things SMO’s or SME’s do, this really chaps my ass.
Here is an e-mail I received this morning:
To: SilentJay74, Random guy, Random Girl, some dude in India, Some dude in Romania, Some dude in Australia, Web Design Pro@Ikickass.com, prodigger365@geemale.com, istumblebullshit@yazoooooo.com
Above e-mail address changed to protect the innocent. Also they were listed in alphabetical order H-K. I was to lazy to come up with clever names using H-K, so deal with it. Now back to his e-mail:
Hi Friends,
This is (I suck donkey nuts), working as SEO(Executive) in iDouchebag Technical Services in Grab ur Balls..This is a Request mail that i am new to SMO so i want to grow my SEO network so Plz add me so that we can help each other for Vote and Shares..I would appreciate if u consider me as ur friend and add me to ur gmail…
My id is ISUCKDONKEYNUTZ@GEEEMAIL.com
My reply to said idiot was this:
1. Never e-mail people like this, where others e-mail addresses are visible. While I do know some of the people you sent this to, others I do not.
2. You need to engage on the sites more and build a reputation, that’s the best way.
3. Asking via Mass E-mail is just plain sad.
4. Good luck in anyone taking you seriously now. By looking at this e-mail I see names h-k. When you get to the end of the alphabet, you’ll realize you probably pissed off more people than gain any kind of quality help.
5. NEVER SEND MY F***ING E-MAIL ADDRESS OUT LIKE THIS AGAIN!

Definitely not good practice. Can see why you’re mad; I’d be mad too.

The only thing that makes me happy about this – I wasn’t on this list. HA!
But I still def. get these emails sometimes. The email itself is lame – but to not BCC folks is what really pisses me off. WTF!
