..that people would actually send in crap like that. This sort of reminds me of this article, in that people don’t seem to care as much in their electronic communications as written ones. I’m sending out sponsorship letters for a conference I’m chairing right now, and I proofread them multiple times – I know that even asking for a pittance, if I had something like a spelling mistake, I could kiss any donation goodbye. Why people would send in half-assed e-mails like that is beyond me. Plus they don’t sound like the best proposals in the first place!
