[autofire]
Another way to play with email, messages and communication in general. People send me emails. I get lots of emails. Some I want, and some I don't. Email is strange, sometimes you send one and never get a reply. Now, I have started autofire: an email is automatically fired off to anyone who sends me an email. They will not get another email until until I change the [autofire] message. It will be sent from another account, autofire@monkeybrains.net. The message will be nothing more than a passing thought or interaction I had. You leave messages in my mailbox, now, you will always get one back from me!

Subject: [autofire] answering the phone.

The phone rang.  I looked at the clock, It was 2:22pm.
Rudy: two-twenty-two pee-em.
????: uhh.... hello?
Rudy: Yes.
????: Is Ayesha there?
Rudy: No.  May I take a message?
????: You said two-twenty-two pee-em....
Rudy: Yes, that is the time.
????: Is that some sort of joke?
Rudy: No.  Time is not a joke, it alllways plods forth.
????: Tell her John called.
Rudy: Ok.  Hold on.... 
      [looking for a pen in the digital scenery I call my desktop]. 
      What's your number? [I know about 100 John's]
John: 650-xxx-xxxx
Rudy: I'll pass the message on.
John: Thanks.

I've decided to auto reply to everyone who emails me a 
little note.   Don't worry, you won't get this message
again unless the message changes.  Hopefully, a weekly
event this autofire will become.

Subject: [autofire] propagandic pyramid scheme email

God... I got about 4 pieces of 'pyramid scheme' and 'save the bears in
China' email today and it is only 10am.  What is your take on
unsolicitated emails, such as:
 + this email
 + a pyramid scheme email
 + buy my product email
 + rightous 'vote like me' emails
