1) why are you anonymous.

2) this seems fake. The response sounds more like the ranting of a young person than of an older executive.

Real, old, and in the end, the woman who sent it ended up getting lambasted by national media for being a total douchebag.

This is an old story. The imbecile who wrote the response was humiliated for it too.

How is it especially useful to connect to a stranger, only to then have access to look at the profiles of hundreds of other strangers?
