Spam Filters Gone Wild

Stone most emphatically does not have a potty mouth. That's why I can't tell if this is too dirty for Stone or not.

OK, I'll let you judge....

A letter from a friend:

Hey Marc -

Check this one out. I emailed my resume to a friend at a VC. As shown below, the email was blocked by the VC's overly zealous spam filter. I've hidden the name to protect the prudish.

Hope all's well man.
