This sounds more like a forgetful individual. Hell even I forget to do some of the most basic tasks from time to time. In a larger environment, it's easy to overlook some of the simple things, regardless of their importance.
More importantly though, I want to make sure that I didn't mean to sound as if I were attacking you for your opinion at all. I just think "stupid" was a bit harsh. In my line of work, I deal with a great deal of unknowing people. And that isn't their fault.

What I actually said after several hours of hard work and 1/4 of emails bounced back was: "you stupid :censored:"
I think I was too harsh. Maybe I should have said: "Are some of your customers making fundamental errors that are going to put them out of business?"
It was very frustrating. Because I knew that if my emails were bouncing back, then so were the emails of potential customers.
Because many of them used the email address sales@ which means they ain't getting any sales!
And one person who replied with the information I wanted has already got a great story in the magazine promoting their farmhouse made chocolates.
And HE used either a Hotmail account or Yahoo, I forget which, now.
