Modern Technology Conspiring Against Me

[fredbassett]

I've been having random email problems for the last few weeks (so has Mr fb).  It improved, but is now back to being strange again and we can't work out why.  Seems to be an ISP problem not an over-active spam filter, with mail seemingly  bouncing back to sender randomly.  I normally reply rapidly to emails, so if I don't it's probably caught up somewhere in cyber-space, or alternatively bouncing back to you like a rubber ball.  If this happens, or if you're expecting a reply you don't get, please post here to let me know, so I can track if the problem is still ongoing or not.  Thanks, guys!   (I also seem to get comment notifications at some times and not others, but I suspect that is just the usual LJ weirdness.)

I now feel I am missing out on life-enhancing conversation, or alternative idle smut-chat!! Either way, it is BAD.

Please could you try pasting them into a new massage and seeing if that reaches me?

MR fb is now onto the case with BT as a teccie friend things he may know the root of the problem, so fingers crossed .........

I've just cut and pasted the text of all my emails to you since the 18th... there were 12, of which I could remember two which bounced. There is a third one in there somewhere also.

I realised that something was wrong when you asked me for the episode urls when I had already sent them to you... and then the bounce notification arrived after your comment!

Rec'd and replied to, thanks!

Mr fb still on phone to email provider, and now starting to sound grumpy, which isn't a good sign! Words like "Would you mind explaining WHY you can't do that?" have just been delivered ...........
