Thanks for your email. Here’s our problem. We want you to know that we really do read every single email you viewers send us. No, honestly. But reading your email is one thing, and composing individual answers to each one is another. That would be a full-time enterprise. In which case, there’d be no AC 360. In which case, there’d be no emails. You see where we’re headed.
Anyway, the best we can do is to acknowledge that we have indeed received and will read your message, and this little note is to let you know that. It’s automatic, yes; fails to take into account whether you’ve patted us on the back or slapped us across the face; does not differentiate between praise, correction, fury, proposals of marriage, or invitations to get lost. But rest assured we’ll know that part when we read it!

'The Man'
[sic]
JW: I never really liked working in large companies. It's why my friend and I have started this side business that we hope will take off. I hate working for 'the man'.
BF: Yeah, I'm really a business nerd that way. I've only worked for this one company my entire career, and it is sorta like Office Space. But, I don't mind working for 'the man'....because someday I'm going to be...'the man'.
JW: ........Oh.
NOT the Phil's...
