Another e-tarded e-mail exchange, taking the crank call into the new millennium. The following is an actual e-mail exchange.
(This series of e-mails started when we were contacted by 123greetings.com. They wanted us to link to their website in exchange for linking to ours. Obviously, they didn't look at our site in too much detail.)

Thanks for your offer to trade links. Gotta love your
wholesome e-greetings!
Do you print real greeting cards, too, or do you only
print electronic ones? Please let me know, so I can
link to your printed cards.
Also, will there be any money in this linking, or is
this strictly a Platonic relationship?
Thanks!
Jason

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your response. I have alredy linked you to
our site which should be online in 24 hrs. at
123greetings.com/links/birthday/birthday_fun Ours is an
e-greetings site and we do not have printed e-cards.Morover there is no
moneytary exchange involved in our link request and it is only an
effort of mutually exchanging traffic.Even our serevices are free and users do
not need to pay to send cards from our site.A link back to us from your
site would be highly appreciated.
Have a nice time
Gerry

Jerrie,
That sounds great. It really does sound like a great
relationship, but the only reason I'm so skeptical is
that on my site there's something called "E-tarded
E-mail", and sometimes what's written in the e-mails
isn't as up-front as you'd like. So I just want to
make sure that what you're saying is that I can link
to your online electronic e-cards for free.
Also, are your cards available in stores, or just
online?
Thanks!
Jason

available online-not in any store.

Gerry (sorry that I mistakenly misspelled your name
"Jerrie" in your name in my last e-mail),
Great news, thanks for reassuring me about the
freeness.
I went ahead and added a link to your homepage. Plus,
I also linked to three interesting greeting topics
that you have on your site:
- New baby
- Islamic greetings
- Kicking drug and alcohol addiction
I hope it's ok that I added the links at the bottom of
my article entitled "Men's Bathrooms, Men's Locker
Rooms, Anal Sex, and Other Disgusting Heterosexual
Topics". I think this is one of my more popular pages,
so you should get a lot of hits. You can take a look
at the links here:
Men's Bathrooms, Men's Locker Rooms, Anal Sex, and Other Disgusting Heterosexual Topics
Let me know what you think, and thanks a lot for the
link trade!
-Jason
P.S. I hope you don't mind the proximity of the links
to the words "pussy" and "fuck"? People who visit my
site are used to this kind of language, so trust me,
it won't bother them.
