Hmph. Well, the account obviously works. I'm just not getting emails from a couple mailing lists that I should be getting. I wonder what the problem is.

Spam filtering?

Blacklisted ISPs?

I have spam filtering turned off, and I doubt that Comics.com is blacklisted. At least, I hope it's not.

Dangit, I want my daily Dilbert and Peanuts!

Okay, we'll tell you the truth. Have you heard of human sacrifice? When it is your honor and privilege to be the next victim, some people get embarrased and start avoiding you. The only mail you get is bills, the phone never rings, your e-mails slow to only spam (and not even these if you have a spam blocker).

So, if you are getting no letters I'd start getting edgy and staying away from altars.

Oh, comics.com... why didn't you say so? I had the same experience with them. They must purge their lists periodically. You have to re-register.

Hmm. I only started having a problem when I switched web hosts. I think maybe I had the catch-all address set incorrectly or something, though hopefully I've got it figured out now.

Is this an official comics.com mailing list?

If it's not official, then it's possible the mailing list was suspended or closed down. Over at LiveJournal several syndicated feeds (including the Dilbert Feed) were just suspended. Rumor is that it's due to legal issues such as stolen bandwith or licensing, etc.

Yes, I actually went to Comics.com and registered for a free subscription (a couple free subscriptions, actually).

Say, Jon Boy, you used the work "actually" twice in your penultimate post.

Just thought you should know.

Say, Icarus, you obviously can't tell the difference between a d and a k.

Just thought you should know.

And actually, I actually already know that I actually use it as a meaningless emphasis word too often.

Actually.

Who's having a problem with their Ds now?

Edit to add "a".

Ha ha! Dagonee can't spell, either!

Mine was actually a problem of rewording my post and not fixing it completely.

Is leaving a word out entirely misspelling it? Now that's a philosophical conundrim... er ... conandrum ... er ... puzzle.

Is adding an extra word the same as having a problem with d's?

Well, the problem could have been fixed by adding a d to one word or taking out a whole other word. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you only made a one-letter mistake, not a 4-letter-and-a-space mistake, but I'll go ahead and give you the five point error if you insist.

And you're so cunning and perceptive, too. It's like you know exactly what I'm thinking!

Let's see if you can read this.
