Earlier this month, I posted an email from a young lady named Katy that that I described as spam. Turns out it was not spam -- I had corresponded with Katy before while doing Disney pin trading, and I had not recognized her name or email address (in fact, I had never even considered that she might have been a pin trader).

But more to the point, I should have never posted that email on my blog without first simply replying to it and asking Katy how she knew me. On the Internet, it is too easy to be mean to others under a cloak of anonymity, and I usually try hard to avoid that, but that night I was thoughtless and cruel. Katy, I am sorry.
