Webware.com Attempt #1

This post is part of my ongoing marketing experiment.

I had bookmarked webware.com when I heard that Rafe Needleman was going to become Editor in chief. I felt I had a connection with Rafe because I used to read him back in the Red Herring days, when he used to write Catch of the day. Of course, Rafe doesn't know me from a hole in the wall, which is why I shouldn't have been surprised when I got no response.

If you read my comments in the sample annotation below, you'll see that I dug my own grave (even if they did read my email.) I agree, I wasn't being very respectful. But in fairness, I did have a point, why were they reviewing all these non web apps?
