Hello Dale,
Thank you for your email <snip>
Kind Regards,

I noticed the subject was in Italian. Luckily I was able to translate it no problem - it's just english words with a bunch of i's and o's stuck on the end - but thought I'd have some fun with them.

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for your very detailed explanation, it was much appreciated.
It was interesting that you chose to write the subject of the email in
Italian, perhaps showing off your cunning linguistic skills. However it did
upset me a little because it reminded me that I can no longer play against
Italian players on PokerStars.com
I have written you a question in base64. Please feel free to respond in any
language that you chose.
I trust this email has answered you query and made you laugh.
If you require further assistance please contact us again.
Regards,
Giuseppe G

Actually, I am not really confident to reply to your query because I believe that every single poker player would have his personal opinion, so I can suggest you to post the same query on some poker blog. I am sure that with all the response that you will get you will be able to come up with your own idea.
If you like, you can try to post your question on PokerStars blog and see what other customer think.

Ciao Giuseppe,
It is daytime here in the UK therefore Dale is fast asleep, so if you do not
mind I will respond to your email, I am Dale's assistant.
However, I am a monkey and my grasp of the English language is unequivocally bad.
For that reason I will reply to your email using the method of flag semaphore.
Best Bananas,
Monkey

Hello Dale and Monkey ,
Thank you for your interesting email.
I am sorry if I am replying after so long time, but I have been off for a
few days.
After a research on internet I have probably found the answer to your query.
As I have already said in my last email, I believe that internet is a source
of many information, some are useful some useless. I have been googleing
and then after a while the answer pop-up to my attention, it was there, on www.pokerstarsblog.com.
I will give to you the link where read the answer, it is written in the article.

whats amazing here is that this entire exchange took less time than it would take a ftp support person to respond to a single one question email with an otherwise empty inbox =/
