Unsent Letters
Dear Yahoo,
Yes, I'm very loyal. Yes, maybe I like to think people who blew me off years ago might be aided in the recovery of their senses by remembering they once had my e-mail address. But have you ever thought that you might owe your constituency to people for whom the word "upgrade" is an occasion to throw up in our mouths? Because I think you do. Face it, you are the Honda of e-mail services and the people whom you think will be impressed by your Shiny New Thing are probably g-mail users anyway. Also, probably not impressed.
I don't want to be wowed by my e-mail. Just get my shit and know when I send things out they get them too...it's been good enough for the post office, overall. I know...you are sexier, sleeker, and...MORE NOW than the post office, as indeed, who is not? Even I have a shot at being babesome next to the dowdy USPS, but you know what? I get my things and they don't stop working...I trust them, Yahoo, and I used to trust you too.
Now I'm thinking it's been too long.
