From Henry Gee's blog:
Dear Professor Trellis
Thank you for your manuscript entitled “On the positively negative interaction between one abbreviation and another abbreviation, conditional on the negatively double-negative interaction between a third abbreviation and one or other of the first two abbreviations”.
Please be aware that I am a Servant of the Secret Fire, Wielder of the Flame of Anor, and in that capacity I’m afraid to say that the Dark Fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun. I regret that your manuscript must go back to the Shadow. I am sorry to be the bearer of what must be disappointing news.
Sincerely
Dr Henry Gee

Dear [name withheld],
I just found out that you have decided to use a different oncologist for your adjuvant chemotherapy and wanted to let you know that I certainly understand why some patients hit it off with one doctor but not another. I wish you nothing but the best of health…
Surely that should be "I'm afraid I must say" or some such? He's not really afraid to say it, is he?
But funny.
I guess this would be followed by an email to his fellow editors -
"Run, you fools!"
i've read tolkien too many times, but it's actually "fly, you fools" ;)
Is it pathetic of me to note that I also thought that?
