Do you like me? Circle one: Yes_____No

I was looking around on the White House before I decided that it was really not worth it because of the volume of mail they receive and I found this. White House Web Mail Click on the 'Continue' button and let the fun begin.

Other than the very funny "Do you like me?" bit it's also interesting to notice that when you are going to "write a supporting comment" you have the option to choose a more specific classification. For example you could do the following, (Step 1) Write supporting comment (Step 2)Environment and Energy [nice that no bones are made about the combination] (Step 3)Arctic Wildlife (Step 4)Personal information and actual message.

However, when you "write a differing comment" you never have the option in (Step 3) to be more specific in at least the following areas: Economy, Education, Environment (Foreign Policy doesn't fit this rule and I didn't check all of the rest). Mess around with it, it doesn't work very well. For a cynical knee-slapper try the following combination: (Step 1) Write general comment (Step 2) Foreign Policy (Step 3) Human Rights. Or (1) Differing (2) Legal/Judicial (3) Campaign Finance Reform. What the heck's going on here?

To be fair this is most likely just a technology problem, still it's suspicious that it works significantly and noticably better when one is writing a supportive message. The option to write a real letter or an email to president@whitehouse.gov also remains open.
