To those of you who have e-mailed Olbermann about votergate
Have you received any replies from him? How do we know that he is getting our messages?

3. I've e-mailed him too
and I haven't gotten a response from him either, but I know he's taking all the information because he wouldn't still be talking about it on his blog.

6. That's true
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 10:22 PM by Miami Liberal
myself and many others here have dedicated so much time e-mailing him with information and links that I just want to make sure he is paying attention to them.

4. No, I knew he was getting thousands a day,
I specifically said "no need to reply" on mine.

26. I sent 2 "thankyou" notes
and general words of praise and encouragement. But like you, I didn't expect a reply. My attitude is: let him be flooded with all this THANKS, right?

8. YES
I've sent about six emails. Implicit in them is that he need NOT reply. I don't want him wasting time thanking everyone... let him vacation or investigate.

9. I got a reply...
My subject line was that I was urging he be nominated for a Pulitzer. He (or someone) wrote back soon and informed me that I had mistakenly sent this recommendation to the fired head of MSNBC, Sorenson, and that Kaplan was the new chief.

So our e-mails are seen.

13. I got a response... I e-mailed him about a week after the election, told
him "thanks" and keep fighting the good fight.He e-mailed back saying
he was looking into everything being alleged, and could I please ask everyone to stop e-mailing him, because if he's replying to an e-mail every 5 seconds it really impedes his ability to research said concerns. I posted his response here @ DU as he requested.If I remember correctly, he wrote in his e-mail that he had to write, on average, something like 5,000 words per show???

18. He did?
He asked everyone to stop? Because in his article about (among other things) Ann Coulter earlier this week, he wrote at the bottom: "What do you think?" rather than just "Comments?" or even nothing at all.

I don't know. "What do you think?" seems like a solicitation for feedback to me. JMO.

21. Then he's changed his mind. He's asking for them now...
at the end of each daily blog...

Thougths? {sic} E-mail me at KOlbermann@msnbc.com

22. I find it odd that he would tell us to stop e-mailing him
As you said, he's always asking people to e-mail him with their thoughts.

23. The text of the e-mail: Dated Nov. 5, 2004... I wrote: Help! Please
Edited on Sun Nov-21-04 02:51 PM by AzDar
investigate the stolen Presidential Election. Exit polls vs. final #s..
Your country needs you! (Subject line: Voter Fraud)

He wrote: Please-- I appreciate your concerns and will continue to devote resources to them--but if I get an e-mail every few seconds from somebody, it lessens my ability to get any newscast on the air.I just can't function; and I have to write the 5,000 words myself--so
please spread the word: lighten up on the e-mails.

Again, if anyone can help me in posting the original e-mail, I'd be more than happy to...(Can't help but feeling like I'm being attacked here.)

25. Maybe you can copy and paste it here
Edited on Sun Nov-21-04 04:35 PM by Miami Liberal
Of course, you would delete your e-mail address for privacy. Please don't feel like you're being attacked, we just want to find out as much as we can about this.

20. Hardcopies of Emails....
If I could get through to Keith Olbermann (I've emailed him several times, not expecting a response), I would suggest that he hire someone to simply sit there and make hardcopies of all the emails he is getting. For posterity's sake.

24. I received a canned response that they received my message
and will read it but can't respond since so many are sent. But they did send me an advertisement to purchase shit!

30. i haven not received or expected any emails
from him, but that does not make sense for him to have his email address at the end of every blog and then say don't email me.?hmmmmm

besides it makes him look popular if he is getting that many emails.

31. AzDar's e-mail reply from Keith
I have copy and pasted the e-mail that Azdar forwarded to me. I hope this helps. Jeez, I don't understand why Keith keeps asking for our e-mails after each blog entry when it seems a nuisance to him.

Thank you AzDar!!

Please -- I appreciate your concerns and will continue to devote resources and time to them -- but if I get an e-mail every few seconds from somebody, it lessens my ability to get any newscast on the air. I just can't function; and I have to write the 5,000 words myself -- so please spread the word: lighten up on the emails...
