LOL. Drat, I should have kept my mouth shut, because I'd almost forgotten that.
Yup, that was when Doug had to manually restore me back to list after the list software had dropped me off. But that wasn't the real problem, somehow he was being pinged every time my PDML email was bounced back by AOL (because they had an inbox limit. Now, having run a list myself, I realize the undelivered email was probably going to HIS inbox, sent by the list mail daemon). AOL still technically has a limit, but not really, so there's no bounce back anymore. I never really understood it until I saw poor, beleaguered Doug in person at Grandfather Mountain and he explained it to me. After meeting him and knowing him and the situation better, I felt very guilty and tried REALLY hard to clear out my inbox on a regular basis after that. But it had also made me feel sort of special, sort of like "Elvis has entered the building", and for a long time afterward I missed hearing... "Marnie, clear out your mailbox!!!" One time he even posted it as a thread to the list, in the subject line -- so I would see it even when off list. LOL. Which reminds me, I should make a donation to Doug for running PDML. I owe him as much as anyone. M aka D :-) In a message dated 4/20/2013 11:13:08 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Har!
