On Saturday i received my best response so far (from McNeil Consumer and Specialty Pharmaceuticals), so i'm willing to forgive them for misspelling my surname (especially because the woman misspelled her own company's name *snerk*).
Thanks for contacting McNeil Consumer & Speciality Pharmaceuticals. Our sponsorship of a program -- particularly a reality program where there is no way to know the content in advance -- is no indication whatsoever that we approve of the content of that program. Time is purchased far in advance for a program or time slot and we have no voice in the content of that program. We don't have a position on same sex marriages, which is not a question related to our business of health care.

We value the input of our customers, shareholders and the general public, and we appreciate your taking the time to write and express your views.

I must admit that part of my enjoyment in these letters is picturing the reaction of all those religious fundamentalists when they get these exact same letters in response to their letters. *wicked grin*

I get anxious about missing my flight, about discovering at the airport that i'm missing some crucial part of my ticket, about being an academic failure over there. This is not what other people worry about for me. They worry about my safety, about my getting lost. Some express concern about my finding enough to eat as a vegetarian. If it occurred to them, i'm sure they would express express fervent hopes that i get along with my roommate because that was everyone's big concern my first year of college.

[Addition: People also keep asking me if i'm already to go, if i'm all packed. I leave in 4 days, people.]

Got myself a new Yahoo e-mail address and it required me to select an "Industry" and then a "Title."
