On the Internet everyone still knows you're an ass. Smartphone rankings edition.

I received an email today re my smartphone rankings. Given the email ID, I assumed it was not legit, but I responded anyway.
Surprise! The email bounced back. So here it is, unedited:
nope@nope.nope sent a message using the contact form at http://brianshall.com/contact.
You're missing many new popular *good* phones (where's the desire-Z???), and
your ranking order is bullshit. You have some unusable, unstable, low
specc'd devices above some of the best build quality and feature rich devices
available today. What gives?
My response:
Thank you for your note, Mr Nope.
I believe the structure and methodology of my smartphone rankings are the best on the planet. I assume you know that you can sort the rankings by any factor (e.g. Productivity) and your description of them as "bullshit" is related to the actual score I assign. If so, on that point we will disagree.
I do admit there are many devices not on the list. I started this in 2009 and there were not that many legitimately different smartphones to rank. Now there seems to be multiple new devices each week. I have to focus then on only select devices and operating systems.
Regards,
Brian
Why waste my time -- and yours, assuming you think your time has value -- by sending an email? If you want to make a bullshit statement, or a legitimate one that you make rather angrily, just leave a comment. I have better things to do.
