"Hey! So and so really regrets sending this e-mail -- you need to read it right away!"
Hee, pretty much - it's like the graphic violence and adult content warnings before tv shows that you were almost not going to watch.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

They don't give you an "I voted today" sticker to prevent that?
They probably would have, but voting before coffee = not waiting around for stickers.
I am confused by the whole "recall" function on email messages.
I've never heard of such a thing. I am so out of the loop.
When I think of "recall" in this context I think about the attempt to recall Slim Pickens' B-52 in Doctor Strangelove. And we all know how well that turned out.
Ha. The apology just arrived.
ita, insent to your profile address.
Bleargh. I can already feel that I'm not going to accomplish much today, what with the haunting DailyKos looking for state exit polls and grumbling about the results.
Only the part where I go to the bakery and ask for a pumpkin pie and pay the nice lady.
Tempting. But, alas, not the way of my people. Instead we find as many cheats as possible (pre-made crusts, canned filling, etc.) and then hand over a baked product with the words "home made" falling from our lying lips.
Except for apple. I've gone and picked the apples for my pies once or twice.
They'll have a recipe on the back which mostly involves mixing in some eggs, sugar, and spices.
Ah, good to know, thanks!

You should pretend you never got the apology.

Is it craven and bootlicky, or a weaselly "I'm sorry you apparently feel hurt" non-apologetic apology?
I promise to think equally ill of Asshole Portland Man no matter what you say.
ita, there was one time (and note I was using the webmail option of my organization, not the internal email system) where someone recalled a message, then recalled the recall, and then recalled that recall. Hilarity ensued (at least for me) because I got all four messages. It wasn't anything juicy (that time) - it was just changing of dates for some function, but I laughed my ass off.
Dana,
I swear you should send a note to someone, cc him and say "can you believe that jerk just apologized?"
Then recall it after 1 hour.
