I received the following email from a previously unknown to myself member of the Amerikanturks Yahoo Group:

(name deleted for privacy)

Rear Ruya, I am < NAME > 26 years old, student, 1.85 largely, 82 weight,
dark-blond I would like gladly you to know to learn, if you have
desire Write down me please. Do not forgive me my English is perfect.
Good night. < NAME >

I guess the person assumes I am female as he addresses me by ‘Ruya’ a Turkish female name and the beginning of my Yahoo! ID.

I could respond by writing him down, praising his perfect English and asking him how he knew about the prominence of my ‘rear’ but I don’t think I’ll bother.
