Mark L. you sent n Email called sunset with all the outstanding pictures on
it. I had it open when a friend needed to use my computer and seemed to have
lost it. I need to send it to my wife as she said it was a forever water
color set besides being all blue ribbon winners. Can you send them again,
Larry

NetHeads,

Just about every day, the list automatically unsubscribes one or two people
because of "excessive bounces".  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
