Why the fuck does he use the work "fuck" only to censor it afterwards? You either use it completely or not at all.

  It's possible it was uncensored in the original message, then censored when it was published to a broader audience.

    But why use it at all? Casual swearing has very few positive benefits, especially since the rest of the email was well-written and expletive-free.

      For the same reason it tends to get used in Alternate Rock? A way to say, "we both know we're hipper than the average dude, and can use this word to shock Joe Q Public while just adding an inside emphasis for us cool dudes who won't over react to a four character word". Or that could be me overinterpreting :-)

      Agreed. In the categories of words I'd rather not see in a such an email, but for completely different reasons, I nominate "reinvent". It needs to be taken out the back, shot and served as the main course to a VC dinner.
