A "bounce" is a returned mail that was undeliverable...no server to send it to. This is usually due to your ISP (internet service provider) having connection problems, their mail server is down, or some other reason why the rest of the world can't get email to your box. Sometimes it's because you've closed your account without unsubscribing, and that's why the mechanism is there, to stop sending email to dead email boxes. Why bother, you ask? Because in an effort to prevent spamming, big email providers like AOL will blacklist an entire domain (like mylist.net), if they get a lot of bounces from difference account names on the same domain...because it might be a shotgun blast of "hail Mary" email sent to a...@aol.com through z...@aol.com in the hopes of duping a few folks into their scam, or whatever. The point of all this is that the system will automatically unsubscribe you, and it usually happens at 5PM CST, which is something like 11PM GMT. Quite often the next thing that happens is that I get an email - why did "I" unsubscribe somebody...what did they do that made me mad enough to throw them off the list? I hope I'm not really perceived by most as being that way. Usually you just have to subscribe again, and hope that your ISP gets its act together a little better and quits bouncing your email. I've noticed that some rural areas in the US, and places like OZ and SA where internet connections or ISP diligence may be a llittle lacking, and I completely understand that. Just send an email to krnet-j...@mylist.net and you'll be right back on again. Notice though that things have changed a little when rejoining...The list does require a "real" name, address, phone number, and a sentence or two as to why you want to join the list before I'll let you back on, mainly to prevent spammers from subscribing, and also so I have some idea of who some of you are who refuse to put sign your emails with some clue of who or where you are. But don't take it personally. It was a perfect flying day in the Southeast today, so I flew over Tennessee, almost to South Carolina, just taking in the scenery. I also took a few pictures, one of which is at the top of http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/sunsets/ ...
