Some incorrectly see it as a shortening of "with regards to", but it's actually the ablative of the Latin word res, meaning thing.  I guess you could translate it literally to "[this message came about] From the following thing: Love"
I see it as not wanting to requite the love of someone else, translated into the modern world, ergo into an email message. Perhaps he doesn't wish to reply to a love email he was sent?

Ah, now that makes some sense.

I've been staring at it for like a month now, and I always figured it'd eventually fall into place and make sense. I only just now realized that I really had no clue what to make of it and finally thought to ask.

I send all my confessions by email, with the topic name "Love".

First of all, *baka (bakka means "always" or "persistently"), and second of all, it's the stereotypical "irritating young boy" sentence-ender.
Goodness my language supercedes these meanings >_>

Because everytime you all say baka, I'm thinking 'cow'. Or probably a 'maybe'. Eheh... XD

Also, knowledge! Yay!

...16 people. This is going to be one romantic epic.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I'm a bit late, but Happy Leftover Cake Day, Toony.

As above, good luck and have fun and all that stuff to everyone, for now I don my gameface. And depending on the content of the game, possibly lacy leingere as well.

And a scarf, and a nice coat to match.

Probably along with a styled mustache :P

I like it :D

It's like the one conspiracy theory dude from Katawa Shoujo, with a side helping of Victoria's Secret.  A pairing made in heaven.

If I were going to die alone and unloved, that would mean all my friends are dead. However, I must have died after they had all died. This means I lived a long and likely happy life, even if I did lose my friends and family along the way. Also, I would refrain from a burial plot, opting instead for scattered ashes, so I assume birds will indeed poop on my grave.
Actually, it was implied that all your friends and family would abandon you due to some negative event on your part (like going more insane than usual and murdering a bunch of people), you'll be shunned for all your life and when you die you won't have a choice in the way your remains are to be handled.

Some incorrectly see it as a shortening of "with regards to", but it's actually the ablative of the Latin word res, meaning thing.  I guess you could translate it literally to "[this message came about] From the following thing: Love"
Huh. I always thought it was an abbreviation of 'response', similar to how 'Fw' is 'forwarding'.

Happy Birthday, Toony! May it not be your last (though it actually will).
