Hi John "the Blacksmith",

Thought you might like to know we created a discussion forum over the weekend! It helps educate uninformed consumers about the custom process (we don't appreciate "tire-kickers" either), and you can also read feedback about the CustomMade website from current members.

The D.C. earthquake must have rattled some consumer pockets loose -- we have a large amount of open jobs and inquiries waiting to be met. If you want to gain access to the largest online resource for consumer supplied custom jobs then there is only one week left in our end of summer special!

We're offering $250 and $150 OFF to get started with us in for the year until August 31st. You can review the Annual Memberships here.

Looking for extra business? Let me know what I can do to get you on board this week!

Best, Steve

Mike,If you really don't care you can tell me nicely. It is just an email and I sent it to you because I thought we could enhance your custom blade and sheath business. It is just a footnote on your site and deserves more attention than it is getting.  We would also be a new channel of knife collectors for you.  You should give it a bit of thought before you just tell me to fuck off. At least as much thought as I gave you.

And yet you have sent me yet another spam after this.  Doesn't seem like you're giving it any thought at all.

My record is 3 minutes from posting to sale.  I have no need of more traffic.  I can't keep up with the orders I have.  I also don't need help with my best-selling novels, nor my product reviews and evaluations of firearms.  What I do need help with is getting less unsolicited email that doesn't put money in my pocket.  Can you help with that?

Mike

I will be signing books at The Missing Volume in the Exhibit Hall, Saturday at 2.  So will Larry Correia.  The Baen slide show is at 2:30 pm.  I will be filling in on a science panel on Monday at 1.  I may be helping out on a panel with Larry Friday night.

I will have some of my books with me, if you can't find them at The Missing Volume, and I'll have some of my sick T shirts with me http://www.sharppointythings.com/tshirts.php if you are looking for those.

See you there.

(8:54:07 PM) EvlPenguin: hmm, interesting question.  if the US military had a time traveling military unit, what service would it belong to?
(8:55:07 PM) OnyxHawke: you'd want the airstrip for getting the Delorean up to 88mph
(8:56:16 PM) mzmadmike: yeah, AF takes everything tech, and I'll explain why:
(8:56:44 PM) mzmadmike: The Navy has to assign everything to "Surface" or "Sub."  Surface wouldn't know how to deal with it, and would never let sub have it.
(8:56:52 PM) OnyxHawke: because they can convince people they pay $5000 for toilet seats.
(8:56:55 PM) Monika: we're smart enough to A/C the comps?
(8:56:58 PM) mzmadmike: The Marines wouldn't know where Mickey's hand was.
(8:57:38 PM) mzmadmike: And the Army can manage to take brilliantly designed rifles and trucks and destroy them.  They'd try to fix a time machine with a hammer.
