The following email came across my computer recently.  It is a generic
"you are cut" email, sent to a distribution list including everybody
who attended one or both of two open practices of a semi-competitive
co-ed team in the NYC area.

I think a general critique may be in order.  Aside from not emailing
everyone you cut all at once (maybe they were trying to generate a
sense of community?), I'm sure we can identify a number of additional
faux pas.  Please discuss.

Best,
Dan

Puppet Tryouts,
Thanks for coming out for Puppet Regime this year.  Unfortunately, we
don't believe you would be a great fit for Puppet this year.  We saw
most of you at practice - if you didn't get the chance to try out, but
think you could really make a difference, feel free to reply to this
email with more info about yourself and an appeal.  We realize that
some of you were not able to attend tryouts because you were involved
in other tryouts b/c the academic year is still wrapping up.  That's
fine - email us at a later date - we'll be taking applications on a
case-by-case basis.

We do still believe that you are wonderful people and should be
playing ultimate with someone in NYC.  Please take this opportunity to
play great ultimate and hopefully we'll see you around at open
tryouts, next year.  Here are a few NYC area teams that you might
consider playing for (all of them filled with great players and
people):
