From that thread:

Those are just the guys on the forum that I've spoken to and tried to convert.
I leave them yechi messages on their answering machines twice a day.
Should I add you too?

That thread takes an famously entertaining twist in the middle.
I gotta say that people have become much more polite around here in the years past.

Threads like that make me laugh when people complain that things aren't as they used to be, with so much arguing nowadays.

It's never the OG members who complain :)
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

To be fair, many (most?) OGs are MIA these days.

Yup. They know to go while it's quiet. The newbies will show up in Yeshivah week.

Guilty as charged. And I believe that threads proves it.

Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

But not original.

Still deserved more likes. I don't care who made it up. I care who used it, when, and how.

I like to phrase this differently. EVERYONE has a written legal will. If they didn't deliberately write and execute one on their own, their respective state legislature has a default will written for them. Most people who find out what their will says and it's implications, will choose to take action and write their own plan.

How long does it take to send a 5 word email?
From:Amanda
To:Tom

Tom,

Our web team just received this email from @yungermanchik about the song choices for a potential second album, do you guys at marketing want to take a swing at a response?

Best,

Amanda

From: Tom
To:Amanda
CC: Andrew; Mike; Joe; Cynthia; Fred: Patty; Sid; Gina; Michael; Michelle;Amy

Amanda,

Thank you for forwarding me that email. We definitely want to send a timely response that reflects our appreciation for listening to the first album and contributing to the next one.

I'm just looping in Amy from legal to hear her perspective on what we should or shouldn't commit to our comment on, as well as a few team leaders who would like to be kept abreast of these opportunities.

Tom
Sent from my iPhone which is definitely a newer model than yours

From: Mike

Why am I on this thread?

From: Tom

Sorry, wrong Mike. Looping in Mike from accounts receivable

From: Amy

Sure Tom,

Have marketing draw up a draft and we'll have our team look at it after the weekend, We're running a bit thin coming off the holiday last month.

Best,

Amy

From: Michelle

Amy,

It is imperative we respond ASAP!

From: Amy

Thank you Michelle, we just want to ensure there are no oversights like the project Next fiasco.

From Tom

Our team has come up with the following:

Hi Yungermanchik,

Thanks for sharing this link with us. We are so happy you guys enjoyed Off The Record and hopefully we'll use some of your suggestions on the next Off The Record!

Happy listening!

From: Fred

It's perfect

From: Joe

I need 30 of those by Monday

From: Joe

Sorry, wrong thread

From: Cynthia

Do we perhaps want to offer a coupon for future purchases?

From: Patty

Cynthia,

All promotions need to be board approved. I can surface this request at the next Quarterly.

From: Cynthia

I think it's best to table that idea, we need to send this response much sooner.

From: Amy

Nicely done, Tom!

A couple of things:

We can't assume - or appear to have assumed - gender. "Guys" must go.
Please don't commit to there being a second release, let alone one called by the same name.

From: Gina

I'm not sure the response needs to be so lengthy. I'm about to hop onto a cross departmental conference call, perhaps we can brainstorm a few solutions

From: Mike

I am currently out of the office from Tuesday, 1/16 at midday to Tuesday 1/16 at 3:52 pm.

Any urgent messages can be dealt with with by Travis.

From:Andrew

I don't think we need two exclamation points that close together. Perhaps once Gina's team returns with their offerings, we can circle back to rewording it to be shorter and more impactful.

From: Shawn

Has anyone seen the email from yungermanchik, we should consider sending a timely response that reflects our appreciation for listening to the first album and contributing to the next one.

From: Amy

Shawn,

We're on it

From:Tom

Hi Yungermanchik,

Thanks for sharing this Dan's Deals link with us. We are so happy you enjoyed Off The Record and we hope to incorporate some of your suggestions on the next bun

Happy listening!

From:Travis

Please include a plug for the website.

Oh man, I really shouldn't be making such posts at 2 in the morning. The amount of mistakes is embarrassing. Also, if I had more time to better format the emails and include departments by the names it could have been more fun.

Perhaps we’ll see some of these updates and more by Off The Record 2 ;)

If he believes so, I think he is vain and probably narcistic. But if you would invoke the 25th for every politician who fits that bill, you wouldn't have any politicians left.
