So I got an e-mail from the good folks over at Proud Neighbor Magazine. (http://www.proudneighbor.com) wondering if they could use some of my photos in an article; presumably to illustrate society's decline in the United states. Here's the exchange, which you might find funny, and which I'll update as it continues.

Proud Neighbor Magazine is an uplifting and exciting magazine about
community life. Within the magazine we have an article on Making a
difference , One neighborhood at a Time: What Resident can do to combat
Drugs and Crime. I wanted to know if we could have your permission to
use the pictures featured on your web-site to help illustrate the
article. I've attached the link for you to refer to. We would be happy to
credit the photographer or your website if you wish. If you would like to
get an better idea of who we are please go to www.proudneighbor.com We
are about ready to update the web-site, but there is some information
there for you to read about us. Thank you for taking the time. I hope to
hear from you soon

If you consent to let us use your picture(s) , please reply or write a
formal email back by saying " I consent to let Proud Neigbor Magazine use
my picture(link) and credit it to......"

I figure it'd be fun to have an address at proud nieghbor magazine

I wonder what they'll say...

I sent them a little reminder, in case they'd forgotten about me.

No , emails only can be provided for our staffs and if you need extra
storage go use gmail or google.

Weeelll.... okay. I guess he just didn't understand the nature of my request.

Hi there,

I didn't need extra storage. It's more just about having another address I
can fall back on if one of my other ones ever stops working for some
reason.

Anyway, I respect that e-mail addresses are reserved for staff, and as
such, I remind you that you do not currently have my permission to use my
photos.

Good luck photo hunting!

Yours,

So much for that! The saga ends with a whimper.

Great! I love the way you did that Tux, pretty cool!!!

The concept of a UE having an address called tux@proudneighbor.com is hilarious I think...!
