95. I get the point about the dad being an ass in this

but, your point is what jumped out at me.

That the box was accidentally checked and he noticed only after printing them all off (and that he didn't notice and REPRINT THEM without the check in that box) is bold faced bullshit.

He interacted well pretty much in the e-mail exchange, but frankly from the point of writing that was accidental he deserved the rest of it.
