do you remember a few years ago when my email address got leaked to the moby-hating public?
did i ever tell you what i did?
well, let me tell you cos i think it’s pretty funny…
i set up a program that identified strangers who were emailing me, and whenever a stranger emailed me they received an automatic response along the lines of:
‘thank you for your interest in moby!
as a new moby fan you have automatically been enrolled in the moby fan club.
you will be kept up to date on all of moby’s activities and releases.
welcome to the moby fan club!’
so a typical exchange looked like:
ajerk@ajerk.com
moby you are a prick i hate you you suck your music sucks
you are bad.
moby@moby.com
thank you for your interest in moby!
as a new moby fan you have automatically been enrolled in the moby fan club.
you will be kept up to date on all of moby’s activities and releases.
welcome to the moby fan club!
ajerk@ajerk.com
