Dear Mr. Marshall:

I'm terribly sorry that our representatives in charge of answering 
emails have been rude to you.  I've just fired the lot of them, 
particularly as we can't afford to keep then on anymore seeing as how 
your generous donations are now in jeopardy.

Moving forward I certainly hope that you evaluate your operating systems 
based on their technical merits and overall ROI, where I believe you 
will find that FreeBSD stands out, as it has for years, as a hard 
working operating system to support your Internet requirements at low cost.

I will ask, however, that in the future you constrain your e-mail to 
freebsd-questions to either questions or answers to them, so as to not 
inflame our more excitable representatives once we hire a new, much 
reduced, batch of them.

Thanks.
