Thanks to Ann Salisbury, I have discovered why I have not been getting mail from some of you. The problem is that yahoo.com is a notorious spam front. I get dozens of emails each day for just about every herbal cure, sexual enhancement, get rich quick scheme, etc. from addresses located there. Some time ago, I set everything from yahoo.com to be rerouted (unless otherwise superceded) to a folder called “suspect”. There were over 1700 messages since the first of November in said folder, the overwhelming majority of which were pure pressed hog parts. Ann’s and other peoples’ emails just got processed into that folder.
So, if you happen to be waiting for a reply from me and have a yahoo.com account, leave a comment with your account name (full address not necessary) and I will search the folders for it. My apologies to anyone who thinks that I hate them as a result of this mess.
Ann Salisbury is now, along with chari the goddess of good karma, a member of a very select web pantheon. I deem her the goddess of patience and helpfulness.
I’m probably not the only one doing this. If you’re a friend and have a Yahoo.com account, I can fix things for you! Ask me about mail forwarding from alsirat.com or notfrisco2.com. I’ve got lots of them and the services are free. You can then use the email forward address as your return address so that it will not be despammed!
