psychoceramics: Clueless McElwaine Worshipper



There's an amazing number of braindead newbies who are so unclear on
the concept of the web that they send me mail thinking that I am the
same person who the web site is about.
For example, I have a small Hawkwind page, and some clueless twits
send email to me thinking that I am the lead singer of the band.
It doesn't matter that the names are totally different.

Now, this has begun happening with my Robert E. McElwaine archive as well.

Check out this message that I received from a drooling Eck-cultist:


> From: [censored, though I'm not sure why I should] @aol.com

So the question becomes, how should I respond to this inbred cretin?

A.  Take the time to explain the nature of reality.
B.  Try to forward his message to the real McElwaine.
C.  Flame him to glowing embers.
D.  Ignore him.
E.  Arrange a meeting and impersonate Robert E. McElwaine, and talk
    to him with wild raving eyes about UFOs and Sexy Psychic Plants!


Please help me decide.  Thanks.
