I think I'm going to make this a regular feature, in honor of some of the charming specimens of humanity who show up in my in-box.
This one started peacably enough. Mr. Ginns (whoever he is) sent me the following two-line e-mail the other day:
When will the Spanish language version of this book [Naturalizing Jurisprudence] appear? Where can I find readings lists for the courses that you teach?
So I replied:
The Spanish translation should appear this fall from Marcial Pons. I generally do not put my syllabi on-line.
I had assumed from the question "where can I find," that Mr. Ginns was looking for something on-line. I have occasionally had syllabi on-line, but I don't put them on as a matter of course. If I had not been away from the office, I probably would have just sent him one, but I didn't have access.
A couple of hours later, this bizarre missive arrives:
Well professor, you certainly do. I found your Jurisprudence II on line as well as the Jurisprudence course you gave at the University of Texas in 2008. I wasted a little time tracking these documents down, but I had the satisfaction of proving that you are obviously some type of horse's ass. I guess you consider your syllabi a form of "family jewels."
