How, I ask with great humility and supplication, can I get people to understand that their e-mail addresses do not begin with www. ?
"Ooh, my address is www.bruce1235 aol@ . @ com!"
This, which has been bugging me for about six years now, combined with the apparent fact that AOL does not had a "quote" function in its e-mail program (after what, nine years of being in existence) fills me with dread-- well, not dread, because it's just going to be more of the same as the future goes on. It's just going to keep pounding away on our heads, like a very small guy with a very small hammer banging away right at the point at the top of the skull where the button on top of your baseball cap is and where it digs into your scalp if you press your head against a flat surface so it presses the nerve that crosses right there and your eyes roll back in your head and you black out.
Oh yeah, and exactly how does someone on AOL get their mail into that state where anyone who tries to send mail to him gets a bounce message back saying "whoever@aol.com IS NOT ACCEPTING MAIL FROM THIS SENDER"? Is it because AOL provides some nice tempting checkbox that says "Don't accept mail from The Internet"-- you know, that evil place where nobody with any honorable intentions is, because anybody worth talking to is obviously on AOL?
Glaah. If you've ever received a letter from someone that you had to reply to, but it didn't have a return address on it-- that's what it's like, multiple times a day. Bluh.
