Justin Edmonds, Student/Intern, Photographer Denver | CO | USA | Posted: 2:43 AM on 12.03.09 ->> Here is an excellent case study for how you could respond: http://bit.ly/6yDXfi Personally, I think it is an excellent use of pie charts.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (46) | Huh?

Thanks for the laugh, but I do imagine a handful of emails like this happen. Unfortunately. It's best just to be professionally courteous I've found. Thanks for the link.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

We both thought it was hilarious. I loved the part almost at the end: "What the f*** is your point? Are you going to do the logo and charts for me or not?"  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Come Dec 1 each year, the people that run this site will post a list of the top 5 vote getters (in their spare time, after first spell-checking their list). Then we vote. First prize: a chance to shoot without pay on the sidelines at a college game. Second prize: a chance to shoot without pay on the sidelines at two college games. Or whatever - we can work out the prizes later. Anyway, I nominate Justin Edmonds and this thread.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
