Funny Response to Free Modeling Modeling Lessons E-mail

So as many of you know, we send 6 free financial modeling lessons over e-mail for any new users that sign up for WSO...so most responses are like, "great, thanks!" when we send the intro...today, I got this:

Can you just sent me the goddamn lessons, FFS. I don't see how pissing off new users is a good business model

I guess he was a bit frustrated that we didn't blast them all out at once...

So I responded....

I don't know how being an asshole is good for your career...will unsubscribe you? ;-)

...I mean, maybe he thought it was going to an empty mailbox and I wouldn't see it? anyways, thought it was a pretty funny exchange. :-)

Even if they were a baller, fuck them. Manners. Learn them.

....there's his fucking business advice.

Way to go Patrick. You're first rate. Don't take any crap from someone with an attitude problem.
