Free Willy!
Hmm... Apparently, AOL's mail-server is utterly borked, and it seems Wil Wheaton is being confused for a spammer. And, after reading some of the comments, it seems AOL is confusing a whole mess of people with spammers.
So, if you have an AOL email account (like me), and you've been expecting a love-letter (like I always am), a chain-letter, or some other bit of correspondence, there may be a chance you're not being ignored. It's possible the ISP of the sender is blocked as a result of AOL's effective, but somewhat touchy email filter.
So, if any AOL tech-heads stumble across this, could you maybe mend this issue? It seems like it could turn into a huge problem to me.
See? I can give a heads-up without descending into a flaming rage.

Agh, so is this the updated version of, "If the phone doesn't ring, it's me?"
ReplyDeleteahhh the quaint little Amish-run AOL. I miss it so. It's God's way of making you all go to myspace or facebook. C'mon! Do it if you're cool! I always do things to make me cool...like leave comments on your journal.
ReplyDeleteanyhoo...AOL blows. I was saying that a year ago. Just take a baseball bat to it and yell "LOOK MA! 30000 FREAKING MINUTES" and beat it til it cries...that always helps.

ReplyDeleteYeah, earlier this week they quarantined an e-mail address that was in my address book, and then this morning the leave a message in my box with the following text in the body: "ask men winter multiplicity agricola Clean up. shorten yak Surprise." The AOL tech and the weather forecaster: the only two jobs where you can consistently be wrong and still get paid.

No wonder why I haven't gotten that email from you begging for me not to get married because you want me to stay at home and bake you endless amounts of cookies and serve you beer on a silver - I mean - gold platter.
