You're not going to get far with that. Lots of people make 'funny' You
Wrote lines, and not all of them start with 'On' or contain the word
'wr[o|i]te'. You might be better off just searching for any sentance
that contains an @ sign, because they are very seldom used outside of
email addresses nowadays. And that doesn't make any promises, either,
because sometimes the whole email address isn't in the line, just the
person's name.
