At this point in the email, the reader assumes that Kevin's message really demanded a faster response, being personal and timely. Then Cueball reveals that the email is just the ubiquitous {{w|LinkedIn}} invitation. LinkedIn is a professional networking site notorious for inundating its users with emails inviting them to connect to other users (frequently people the user has little-to-no connection to), as well as any email contacts of their users whether or not they actually belong to LinkedIn themselves.

Had the character worn a [[Black Hat]] though... | One could interpret the letter as a passive-aggressive lashing out, but that does not seem to be in character for [[Cueball]].
