Dear SnarkMonster: please change your email name
May 30, 2008 · Print This Article
I while back I received an email from a mediator called SnarkMonster (well, not exactly that, though pretty darn close. I changed it slightly to protect the sender). That’s the name in the “From” field, along with a return email address that was similar.
And I couldn’t help wonder, Do they send emails with that name to potential clients? Would you hire someone called SnarkMonster to be your mediator?
