My email address is spelled out in the curl licenseThe curl license appears in many productsSome people have problems with their products and need someone to emailA few of these discover my email in their productOccasionally, the person in need of help emails me about their product.I collect some of those and make them public

I hope I don’t have to spell it out but I will do it anyway: in these cases I don’t know anything about their products and I cannot help them. Quite often I first need to search around only to figure out what the product is or does, that the person asks me about.

Over the years I have collected such emails that end up in my inbox. Out of those that I have received, I have cherry-picked my favorites: the best, the weirdest, the most offensive and the most confused ones and I put them up online. A few of then also triggered separate blog posts of their own in the past.

They help us remember that the world is complicated and hard to understand.

Today, my online collection reached the magical amount: 100 emails. The first one in the stash was received in 2009 and the latest arrived just the other day. I expect I’ll keep adding occasional new ones going forward as well.

Enjoy!
