We get email: From Donald J. Rippert, chief technology officer of Accenture

Clearly Don (above) has too much spare time on his hands.

How else to explain the fact that last evening, at precisely 6:49:47 p.m. ET, I received the following email from the CTO of the world's largest consultancy?

Joe:

Sorry to send an e-mail about a quote about young people not reading e-mails. However, I just saw your blog and figured that posting a comment on an entry from July 27 would be futile.

Thanks for the mention.

Regards,

Don Rippert

Resistance may be futile but posting a comment on anything that's ever appeared here is not.

As I noted in my reply to Don last evening, "Not to worry — people leave comments on posts that appeared years, never mind months, ago. Throw it up there, there's plenty of room."

True.
