Well I got the answer I made to Linda back in my spam box and so thought I would put it out on the listing to prevent y'all from responding to it when you read it. The auto response wanted me to provide some information so the address would accept my email. I laughed at this one harder than I did at the Brad Pitt emails. Linda seems to have a sense of humor afterall. Take Care and Happy Hunting.

I got a big kick out of the humor in the whole situation. When you see something you don't like do what I do. Hit the delete button. I even changed the subject line for you and replied directly and not through the listing. Give us a big smile and Happy Hunting.

Not only do I not care about him or his genealogy, people who just push the reply button to reply about something else are coming up as "Brad Pitt." Get with it and put in your own subject.
