Dear Mickey,

I can only guess your recent comedy bit about a ghost writer named \u201cGupta\u201d is a pointed barb at the Dell corporation’s previous decision to outsource support staff to India. I am puzzled why this would be fodder for your online humor since as of November the Dell corporation has proudly returned support staff jobs to America, in swift reaction to overwhelming public feedback. I am therefore hopeful you will curtail what many are probably finding a tired and overused joke. Besides, it’s not like anybody actually would be fooled by the fact you added \u201cGupta\u201d to the \u201cPosted by\u201d tagline. What’s next? Pretending you receive e-mails from corporate executives?

Regards,
Michael Dell

By the way, you’re right. The whole \u201cGupta\u201d thing is not very funny.

I was tired.

Dear Mickey,

I heard you are printing fake emails on the front page of your web sight. That sounds neat. Can you believe I’m president? Hee hee.

You didn’t hear this from me.

I’m tired with Iraq. We need to have the war somewhere else. Can you suggest any more countries we could fight? How about Chad? Get it? That’s an old one. Ha ha.

This AOL is fun.
