Misadventures in e-mail

I've had my fair share of annoying e-mail exchanges with students, but nothing like this:
9:39 a.m.

12:01 p.m.

Dear Jimmy (?),

You really do seem like a great writer. Who was your instructor last quarter?

Best,

Scott
Oh, but it gets better. And if you've ever rolled your eyes after reading another student e-mail from phukmyphace@whatever.com, this is for you.
