Now am I missing something? Where does my small and stale page about Dr. Pepper imposters lead anyone to think I'm able to approve advertising for Dr. Pepper? What's with the ALL CAPS? What's with the lack of spelling or punctuation?

If I were a Dr. Pepper advertising exec, I doubt that this email woudl drive me to action. What are people thinking out there? I am tempted to write Arlett60@aol.com back and ask, but I fear the response.
