In 2004, I received an email from Tyler Bleszinski, who ran a blog called Athletics Nation. We would joke about it later, but the email was sent to dozens of people at the same time and was completely impersonal.
I have noticed your Baseball Site on the World Wide Web and was curious if you would like to Join Up! with our team
Those weren’t the exact words, but they aren’t far off! So I ignored the email.
Then my dude sends the exact same email a week later, but with, “ICYMI” or something in the subject line.
