Like anyone who writes for the internet, Ralph Jones receives a lot of email from public relations people. On a lark, he decided to answer those messages saying “I love you” for a month. Most of the time it was in the sign-off, but sometimes it would even be in the body of the email. Some ignored it, some stopped contacting him, but a few responded in kind. Those were either folks who took it as a mistake, a friendly (if strange) custom, or as the joke it was intended.
One played along for quite some time, giving us a wonderful string of emails you can read at Hexjam. Bonus (or warning): sex toys, with an explanation for the blue one. -via Marilyn Bellamy
It's an interesting practice. But I like my paycheck, so I won't adopt it.
