Disproving an old Internet adage

[fivemack]

I asked on the Internet for axe-wielding maniacs.

Twice.

Did I get a single maniac? Whether with an axe or otherwise? No.

I got through two and a half structural roots in about forty minutes, and am now quite zonked. Also, I bought enough biscuits to feed an army of lumberjacks and now I have to eat them myself.

I vaguely recollect that your begging letters of youre did not have a return address attached. There are press reports of mobs of axe-wielding maniacs wandering the globe, asking (not axeing) each other if they knew where they were supposed to assemble to disassemble.

I suspect this was a Cunning Plan to keep all the biscuits to yourself.

Oh is this the follow up to the email I got with the subject that nearly made me delete it as spam?
I suspect the one from you in that other place I suspected as spam and haven't read is also the same thing.
And I did say I'd happily help if you provided teleporting services ;-p

Maybe it's the *way* you asked the internet for ax-wielding maniacs. Possibly most of your methods have been marked as spam.....

I too would have been happy to help given the provision of teleporting services. Or at least turn up and eat your biscuits.

(I did not mistake your mail for spam.)

I wanted to be an axe wielding maniac, I really did! But sadly I live too far away... *sniff*
