Gentle Spiders,
For some 3 yrs, I've been sending messages to Arachne-lace and
Arachne-chat and never "saw them back", unless I checked with the
archives, or my own "Sent" box; somewhere, I lost the ability to
receive my own messages back as a part of the list.
It was frightening at first (I never knew whether the message'd "hit
the target") but, as I began to receive responses to "posted but not
reflected" messages, I relaxed and adjusted. If I was *really* worried
about spouting too much on any day, I'd check my own "Sent" box. If I
was *really* worried about a message not reaching the list, I'd check
the archives...
Not entirely satisfactory, but, supposedly, the mark of the superiour
(human) intelligence is how well we can adjust to the existing
circumstances, if we cannot change the circumstances. I tried to change
the circumstances, and none of my "clued-in" puter buddies could tell
me what ailed my system, much less how to fix the problem. So I
adjusted, the best I could...
Tonight, I sent a message to the lace-chat (subject: "logic",
containing a couple of jokes) and was knocked out of my socks with
surprise, when it flew back into my Arachne-chat box, as such messages
used to do... *3 yrs ago*...
What the heck???? Is it something in my teeth??? Which have been
"rearranged", drastically, on the left-hand side, yesterday (the r.h is
scheduled March 23; will it change my puter settings *again*???). It's
like something that the Sci-Fi fans among you ought to be able to
unscramble'; it sure is beyond *my* 2 grey cells... :)
