    I just hate having to sit & wait for someone when I want to move on with something, but can't without their involvement. But yea, XenForo any day now... :shake:

    Set the AC at 76. Any warmer and I have trouble breathing. It's a ***** since I love open windows and the sounds I can hear when they are. Getting the place bush hogged right now. A friend showed up with his tractor and just started in!
    @Tal hope your wait is a short one. Waiting drives me nuts too.

    For now maybe - but consider the coming fierce Canada-Greenlandian war (with vikings, ehm danish involvement) of supremacy for the hugely important and worldwide known major island named "Hans-Island" for control of the northwest-passage... :tobattle:

    Cold and dark is fine, dank is not so fine, though.

    That's why we have restraining orders to keep those "wizards" at least 100 yards away, especially from kids . . .

    Is it just me or is anyone else noticing a trend of non-response to e-mails over the last few months? I'm not sure if most of it is due to people taking vacations or what but I've had several e-mail correspondences ending up cut short with the person on the other end simply stopping responding, even after I send a follow-up mail asking what's up. It's bizarre because I've had about 5 cases of this happening in the last few months whereas in all the years before I can hardly remember anything like it ever happening. :hmm:

    Other than one lawyer who just won't respond to any form of communication, I have not noticed anything like that.

    The number of emails is increasing from year to year. And the amount of spam within it is increasing even more. It is very likely that an email simply vanishes in the spamfolder of whatever mailreader or ISP is used by the recipient because it fulfills one or more of the spam criteria like "contains links" "mentions money" or such. False positives happened to me too quite often both on the sending and the receiving end.

    I don't know, most people I was mailing were on Gmail or corporate e-mails and it's very unlikely that they'd spam-tag a mail in mid-conversation, especially since there was nothing in the mails that would warrant it.

    Nope. I communicate via chain emails daily and they always find their destinations. I only use Gmail though, so I have no idea if other service providers are having issues.

    No. Unless it was me that wasn't responding. In which case, I'll get back to you.....

    I think, a kind of saturation with emails.
