So far, I've received two or three legitimate inquiries. However most of the responses I've received have sounded more like this:

What the heck??? What the heck is a yahoo ms??? A yahoo with Multiple Sclerosis??? Do you think maybe he means IMs??? "More easy and understandable???" I can hardly understand this!
I like "i am a staff of a sales company" and "mailing out of mails for us". "I will you to get back to me with which of the item below got" I think I have a personal, but that's, well... personal.
Jeff can sit around and will me all he wants, I ain't going to reply him tellin' him which of the item below got.

Hello,
I apologize for leaving a comment that is totally unrelated to your post's subject matter, but this needs to be said.
I found your blog through the list of bloggers on the blogathon website. It says you are supporting Autism Speaks.
I am an autistic person. I do not want a cure. I am part of a wide community of autistics who are against a cure. We like who we are. We don't need to be "fixed" because we are not "broken". We don't need a cure to give us better lives; we need acceptance, accomodation, and better support systems. By all means, support organizations that offer needed support to adults on the spectrum or provide other useful services. But please, please do not support a group that seeks to wipe us off the face of the planet or to make us into perfect "normal" people.
Thank you.
