I love waking up with something in my box!

Shhhhhh... we're enjoying the quiet.

In the last presidential election, she got so bad with the anti-Obama spam that my spam filter at work automatically quarantined her emails and her own brother sent a Reply All request that she remove him from her mailing list.

I'd set up the filters in advance. Anything mentioning Obama (or the oh-so-clever wingnut variants) goes straight to trash.Then again you'll just have to re-do it for Hillary pretty soon, so maybe it's wise to wait.

The form is hosted on the email people's domain, so maybe it is your cross-browser...

Do you see the form in the sidebar?

Nope. That's why I checked it out a couple days ago; I see the graph-paper background and a spinner. In the article, it's just the spinner without the background.

Prolly doesn't really matter (I mean, I can get to it on a different browser or something if I think I need to look at it). I just thought you might like to know, since it suggests that the script has some sort of loop (or calls something that puts up a progress spinner) with no timeout for repeated failure (it keeps spinning when I'm casually-obsessively reading six-hundred posts worth of forbidden comments).

No, but lots of offers for discount male enhancement products.

Tried to give my cat a pill this evening after mrs._p succeeded in getting her pinned. I now have a nice tooth-sized hole almost clean through my finger. The only thing that stopped it was the upper end of a distal phalange. If I had reacted just a fraction of a second later she would have separated the two bones right at the DIJ.

Not to worry. Using a Mac it is unlikely the mail will get anywhere.

Bullshit. You already let Bernie hack your email list & get mine, without me being on it.
