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).

Your "inbox"? How did they get from your box to your inbox?

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.

This should be a sticky post. I always want to know about my box.

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.
