Emailmeta

(don't confuse with metaemail).

It has become customary for me to paste an excerpt from an email chain Phil, Nick and I were having at work. This is a good part of metayada -- it shouldn't be the only thing I do, but it helps keep the meta going!

P.S. This one below serves a double purpose -- the original message contains a link to a piracy case. Definitely check it out!

P.P.S. It was challenging to write it up -- I had to escape all the brackets and ampersands like this:

<NoCloseTag>
<Tag Value ="<Amazed Quantifier='Speechlessly'/>">

(you get the joke)

<NoCloseTag>

unless that was deliberate? i don’t know anymore?
