Fan Mail from February 2007
We get such lovely emails here, and I feel bad not sharing them with everyone. So starting this month, we're going to publish our favorite emails right here on the site!

If you hate Babson so much, switch schools. Yea Babson has its flaws but every school does, if you're gonna show it and laugh about it, it'z all good, but to try to convince prospective students to not attend here cause of small reasons as your purpose, that's just dumb. Have some pride. If not, switch schools, stop complaining about it. If you reach you're goal, years from now you'll be a graduate of a crap school, good job.
Sincerely,
Oblivious Babson Lover
Dear Oblivious,
Thanks for your insight. I had no idea that if I switched schools Babson would become a better place. That sounds so easy, I don't know why I never thought of it. Even better, I'll quit complaining. That will solve everything. From now on, whenever something sucks, I'll just live with it - no point trying to change anything. That's the entrepreneurial spirit right there!
If this site were to cause Babson's worldwide reputation to become crap, that would be pretty impressive. Who needs a good degree when you can list a worldwide movement on your resume?
If you haven't noticed, we're pointing out problems with social life and education. Are those the small reasons you speak of? What are the big reasons then? And along with that, the big problem here is OCL. OCL making Babson crappy really doesn't have anything to do with the Babson degree.
Sincerely,
Crapmaster

I want to write more but i really really really need to know that my identity will remain anonymous. i know that this email address is connected to my account and may make things obvious, so i simply wanted to verify. i read an article about employers looking at employee's blogs and it made me nervous.

Dear Worried,
This operation is pretty safe. The only connection to you is the email address and it is never publicly displayed or given to anyone. Everything is encrypted in the database so no one can see it anyway. And as long as you're not using a babson.edu or employer email, it's pretty hard to connect it to you.
Sincerely,
Crapmaster
