Et tu, aol?

Et tu, aol?

The few times I tried sending something directly to you, those messages failed to appear as well. I mentioned that they may have ended up in your spam folder, but there was no followup. Well, you have your hands full, and my posts aren't monumental, so…

Maybe I’ll give it another try at some point.

N.S.: I checked my spam folder multiple times, without finding anything from RM, going back to january. Does this mean that aol is censoring my mail?

As for google, I saw this comment when I got up today, but an older comment suddenly popped up, saying “yesterday.” I can’t recall which one it is (I have several which now say “yesterday,” but there wasn’t any older comment which was labeled “yesterday” until after I ok’d this one by RM. This is not the first time it has happened that a comment appeared that my google minder/Gauleiter had sat on for an extended period.

  1. Patience is a must these days--with anything technology. From debit machines at grocery stores to computers at banks,to posting comments. It isn't easy,but with repetition comes new found(forced) change of behavior/thinking.

  2. I used AOL way back when I first went online (over 20 years ago!) and found out the hard way that they were reading my e-mails! All Hell broke loose when I sent someone a (supposedly private) message they didn't approve of. So yes, they MAY be blocking messages...
