Hanging up my umpire face mask until May 2026.

Dear [SENDER],

I came upon your message in my [EMAIL PROVIDER] inbox. I was really impressed by your [USE OF TEMPLATING], but it looks like [YOUR LLM OF CHOICE] didn't follow your [PROMPT OR LACK THEREOF].

Please accept my sincerest [CREATIVE EQUIVALENT OF EATING A BUCKET OF D*CKS].
