ADMIN - Why it took so long to get your new password

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Current News : One Thread

It's because USA.Net (and probably other e-mail providers) does not recognize more than 9 blind copes. I have to send via bcc so that your e-mail address isn't plastered all over everywhere. Thing is, USA.Net does NOT tell you it's not gonna have anything to do with more than 9 bccs. It just goes on its merry way. You think the mail has been sent and go on your merry way.

But--lo and behold! Your mailbox starts filling up with complaints about not being able to get into the forum. So you sit there and send out the passwords again, falling asleep halfway through cos you're an old git. You wake up, check the box and there are MORE complaints. Aaaaargh! By trial and error, you discover that only nine bccs at a time are permitted.

So that's why you didn't get your new password until just now.

Thanks for the effort. Glad the board is up and running again. The shelter does look a bit promising and I hope they have better luck there keeping the infiltrators away from the old TB2K refugees.

Again...thanks for all your efforts.

A militaristic flowering fruit? My goodness! Reminds me of that skit from Monty Python, you know about combating attack fruit.
