DID YOU SEE MY BRILLIANT PRODUCT IDEA I EMAILED TO YOU?

YES, I ALREADY DEBUNKED IT IN MY MIND.

PERHAPS YOU COULD SHARE YOUR REASONS IF IT'S SUCH A GREAT IDEA, WHY ISN'T SOMEONE ELSE DOING IT?

AND IF SOMEONE IS ALREADY DOING IT, WE ARE FAR TOO LATE.

IN ORDER FOR YOUR IDEA TO BE GOOD, I WOULD HAVE TO THINK YOU ARE SMARTER THAN EVERYONE IN THE INDUSTRY.

AND SERIOUSLY, JUST LOOK AT YOU.

ANYONE ELSE HAVE AN IDEA?

NOPE.

NOPE, NEVER.

NOPE.
