Someone using the return e-mail address nobody@nowhere.com (UPDATE: see my comment below) sent me a message today complimenting me on something I had posted elsewhere. I appreciated the message very much, because I wasn’t sure whether anyone was really paying attention to what I wrote.
Thanks, nobody, whoever you are.

“I got an e-mail today.”
“Who sent you an e-mail?”
“Nobody.”
“So you didn’t get an e-mail?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Then who sent it to you?”
“Nobody sent it to me.”
“So you didn’t get an e-mail from nobody?”
“No, I did get an e-mail from nobody.”
