Count fake e-mails?

FIRST COMMENT!

Anyway, my question. Should fake e-mails count in the list (example: Zebbadee from personal favorites)? I don't think they should. But, that's just my opinion.

I don't think any of the emails which have been shown are fake. --Upsilon

Nor do I. TBC chose to answer real e-mails, and since they have a plethara of e-mails to choose from, (1000's in their inbox), why wouldn't they use real ones all the time? If they ever did use fake ones, I betcha anything they would use one of their characters as the author, not some real-sounding person. -- Thunderbird 14:03, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

Read the FAQ question on the site about all their emails being real. You'll see what I mean by fake emails (the ones from personal favorites).

That is one way to interpret the FAQ, yes. But by their being fake, I belive they are referring to the actual idea of a complete cinimatic animation as a whole, not the specific e-mail sent to them. The first question on the FAQ also reinforces our reasoning, where it affirms the recival of thousands of e-mails. So why not just use one or two of them? Unfortunately, however, the only way to get a definite answer from them is to actually ask them, an ability we both lack. So until they specifically answer that question, we don't really have a way of knowing exactly what is fake, and what isn't. It's fair to say that at least some of the un-featured e-mails come from real people, so for the time being, since a clear line cannot be drawn, I belive it is also safe to leave them on, using the old reasoning of 'better safe than sorry'. I don't really see a problem with it. And I'm sure that Upsilon, among others, will agree with my case and cause. -- Thunderbird 01:45, 12 Nov 2004 (MST)

I fixed your spelling of "unfortunately", Thunderbird. I thought you were a stickler for grammar! :D Just kidding. --Homsar999 1:17, 14 Nov 2004

Yea, I usually am. I misspell just a few, like 10 or 12 select words. I can't be bothered with spellcheck, so if I don't know I just guess. But yes, I do enjoy the correct puncuation, grammar, and spelling. Thanks for noticing. --Thunderbird 02:39, 14 Nov 2004 (MST)

We do know that "mile" isn't a real e-mail.

Hey, I just checked the 'mile' DVD easter eggs, and lo and behold, it seems like you're right! But I still don't feel right just getting rid of the mile e-mail author, because TBC made him up. The way I see it, lets just say it's from TBC, perhaps an alter-ego of theirs, and leave it at that. We can't really just delete one specific e-mail. I left a raw code note though.
