Post-Gazette response to your e-mail

So I have come to realize that it's this Eileen person who inputs her own email address incorrectly. How else would she be getting these responses.

Dear Eileen Weiner,

We apologize that the carrier did not honor your vacation stop request. I
have alerted the Delivery Manager about the problem.

Thank you for subscribing to the Post-Gazette.

Thanks for taking action!

Someone named Eileen must have a similar email address because emails for her are picking up steam.

Eileen --

Thank you for calling on President Obama to use the State of the Union to advocate for a bolder approach to achieve a two-state solution.

Will you help us spread the word right now? With just 48 hours to go before he delivers the speech, we don't have any time to lose.

You can use this text with the link: I just told President Obama to prioritize peace and a two-state solution in his State of the Union Tuesday night. Will you join me? Just click here to add your name to J Street's petition.

I've also included a version of the email that you can send around to your friends and family.

Thanks for everything you do!

Thai Researchers

It has been some time since I have posted a run-in with a rogue email destined for some E first name or Weiner last name. Some a few weeks back were not interesting so I let them fall into the Trash.

Today, however, I was surprised to find an email destined for my namesake author friend. The other Eric Weiner, I must say, who never sends any reply, not even a 'thank you,' when I forward him his own mail that came to me by mistake. But I'll continue to do it because I'm a nice guy.

This message comes from Sharyn. It was a reply with several emails in the chain about a very many things. But the exciting stuff seems to be happening now:

Any word back from your friend at AP in Bangkok? The journalist's investigative skills is exactly the right thing for tracking down Ally's birthmother's status. I am going to email the two friends you refer to in this mail now, I realize they may just refer me on so will let you know. Sharyn
