Anyone who doesn't get the "your a genious" answer either a) has no common sense, or b) is a noob.

I got:

You're a genius!
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find someone who's mastered e-mail the way you have? You practice safe e-mailing; you use clear, concise language in text and subject lines; you're a judicious forwarder (if you ever forward at all); and you have excellent electronic manners. If you could spread your genius to others (but not in mass-produced e-mail), we'd appreciate it.

We're sorry to tell you this...
...but you're an e-mail idiot. You forward indiscriminately, you sign your friends up for spam, you reply to all with every little detail, you send nearly unreadable messages with vague or terrible subject lines, you're a security risk to yourself and others, and even worse, you sometimes don't read your e-mail at all. Please read this article on e-mail etiquette right away. It may not be too late to save yourself.
