This is a collection of emails I have received over the years. I have tried to remove all names, email addresses and some company names.
Except the redaction of personal identifiable information, the contents of the emails are shown exactly as I received them.
The emails tend to be in one of these categories.
- Accusing me of wrongdoings
- Thinking I'm responsible for or know anything about a product (that probably uses curl)
- Random weirdness
To the best of my knowledge, none of these emails were sent ironically or as jokes.
This is a subset of the total feed. A curated "best of".
start here, here or here.

My name appears in many products..
I used to. Over time I learned that is very hard to bridge the knowledge gap, plus the fact that many users will just consider whatever I say as excuses for not helping them the way they want.
It simply takes too much time and energy. I almost never respond to these emails anymore.
