Surrealism-on-Stamps Study Unit?

No, I haven’t gone to sleep yet.  I felt the need to relate one of the oddest email exchanges I’ve ever had in 17-or-whatever years of emailing:

“sharon”:  send my free stamp mounts to [full address]

Joshua:  I’m sorry, I do not know what you’re talking about.

“sharon”:  the mounts you put over your stamps to protect them

Joshua:  No, I understand what stamp mounts are, I’m just not offering any, free or otherwise.  AFAIK Gopher Supply has the best prices.  Could I ask why you think I’m offering free stamp mounts?

“sharon”:  thats what it sed

Joshua:  That’s.  What.  It.  Said.  Where?

“sharon”:  where i was looking it stamps up it said it was free

Joshua:  I’m sorry.  I’m not offering free stamp mounts.  I have never offered free stamp mounts.  And I was trying to find out where you saw what you interpreted as an offer for free stamp mounts, but I’m being unsuccessful in communicating that.

As far as I know, this is the cheapest place for stamp mounts: http://www.gvstamps.com/

If you can tell me where you thought you understood the mounts to be free, I would be appreciative so that I could address that, but if you can’t, there is no need to burden you with writing again.

“sharon”:  go to google and put in free stamps and look at every thing about free stamps and look for your web site under eather on of thoughts sites

    Not worth your effort. There are so many STUPID people out there, it’s frightening.

    “go to google and put in free stamps and look at every thing about free stamps and look for your web site under eather on of thoughts sites”

    Right . . .
