 		I have the email.

Mine:
I want to join. Let me help rid the world of the vampire menace.


Then I got back

Them/him/her:
Thanks young person. I am going on an expedition to Carter Cave to find the oldest and most powerful vampire of all. I know most people have heard of him. The one known as Dracula. People dont think he exist, but h does. My wife and my middle son were victons while hunting him in the caves. Their last tranmission may provide a clue were they are at. When i get the time i will post it at the site. Thank you.

 		There seems to be a bizarre inconsistency between the two replies to say the least.

Erm, all we have is a trailhead. That's a huge conclusion to jump to. Give it a chance.

(Though if the PM's reading this, nng at your trailhead website. It's a bit... bare.)

Hello.

Someone showed me your website and it certainly sounds like something
I'd be interested in. However, all you have is a homepage, with very
little information on it. Would you be able to tell me a little more
about what you do, about the vampires themselves, and anything else
that may help me make a decision?

Thank you very much,
Lewis


Waiting for a reply.

 		What about the name of the email "salomslot" A pun on Salem's lot using the arabic word for peace? There isn't really anything peaceful about killing vampires.

"Stephen King's second book, 'Salem's Lot (1975)--about the slow takeover of an insular hamlet called Jerusalem's Lot by a vampire patterned after Bram Stoker's Dracula-"

EDIT

Send this email

Greetings,

Given that the bulk of the population believes vampires to be a legend, could you perhaps provide some more information on the foe? I may want to sign up for this crusade of yours, but I hesitate to do so without more information.

The Arabic word for peace is salaam.

It's possible, mind you, that "salom" is a mistransliteration of the Hebrew shalom -- /s/ and /sh/ can both be represented by the character sin/shin, depending on where the dagesh (a dot) is. Often the dots, as well as the vowel markings, are not written. So, it's possible that if someone were transcribing with no knowledge of Hebrew, they'd come up with "salom" rather than the correct "shalom."

However, in that case I have no idea how they'd arrive at the correct vowels.

Sometimes, shin is transliterated as an s with an inverted carat above it, or an underlined s. Either character would not translate into an email address. So, it is possible that it was salomslot but somehow I don't think so, considering that most people would then have substituted sh for s.

In other words, I think "salemslot" was taken. Wink

 		1) Why would you want to kill a vampire? Vampires = cool.

2) FreeWeb = bad.

C'mon. Even if it's supposed to be Joe EveryMan reading his mail and replying on the run, use the right word.

Now, now, Wolf. Picking on people with bad grammar is sort of a cheap shot. Smile
