Transmission Aborted

I read this yesterday, a posting entitled "Funny Thing" and I felt compelled to send Mr. Gabe an email. But then I thought better of it.

I wouldn't want anyone to think that I occasionally have the gall to believe that, on the rarest of occasions, I have something to say that I would genuinely consider "relevant" by any plausible definition of the word. After all, I have to pay for all my games myself, toiling away in my insignificance, just to scratch out enough to sustain a modest gaming library.

Eherm...

So, instead, I've decided to waste my time in a different way by posting my incomplete letter below. I think you'll be able to tell when I decided to give up on the whole effort. It's raw and uncut, so please excuse the lack of polish. Enjoy!

Hey Gabe,

I've been reading you guys rather regularly for at least four years or so, but this is the first time I've felt compelled to write either of you. I've also purchased a couple of prints from you off the site as well as some gamerpics on Xbox Live. I guess I just wanted to let you know that I'm a "fan". I'm not trying to rag on you or anything when I say...

That "Funny Thing" post you left came across as a little...petty.

And I say this as a guy who pretty much feels the same way as you do about IGN. In fact, I wouldn't have even known about it if it weren't for your post. That whole barb at teh end about being relevant was probably a little unnecessary too.

Mayeb you were having a bad day, I know how that goes, but I just noticed a big differnecrJust an observation.
