You may recall fanlib attempted to butter people up in advance, and failed spectacularly (http://miera-c.livejournal.com/280712.html?format=light). My favorite quote will always be: "I'm puzzled as to why
exactly you think this will make money."

Though I'm also fond of: "Every so often, as if acting out some formulaic movie plot, a bunch of big-city suits get lost in the wilderness of the Internet, and bad things happen."
