Guerri, I got (from Dixonary) two copies of your vote and two copies of
your note about the spam.

It's almost never the food. I'll take 2 and 16 only because I like them:

[Guerri Stevens]

Hey, vote early, vote often!

My apologies to everyone for the multiple votes.

By now, some or all of you may have read my rantings about my Email account and what's going on at Google. I am so incensed, Dodi, that when it's a bit lighter, you may be able to look off to your southwest and see spirals of smoke rising into the air off in the distance.

I voted early yesterday morning. I had Tbird collect my mail later in the day and my vote wasn't there. So I voted again. Second vote also not there. I tried to go into the Dixonary group using my browser, which is when I discovered the Google situation.

I am now operating through the tapcis.com Parlor, which is from whence my third vote was posted. Interestingly, only ONE of my three voting messages shows up in the Parlor. So you and probably others got all three of them, but something somewhere ignored two.

I am not sure how to correct the problem with Google. It is complicated further because I like to see my own votes and Google's Email will not deliver to me messages in the Dixonary group that I wrote, so I have worked out a kludge, and that will all have to be revisited.

I suspect that to get this all straightened out may require help from the moderators, but I don't know whether even they can help. I might have to be deleted from the group membership and start over, but I am not sure that will work either.

that others have, too.

Hm. That's the first time I've seen myself thus identified. I wonder if
it has anything to do with what's going on down there . . .

[Tim Lodge]

I'm just resetting the Subject in the Google Gorup, as Dodi's last
message changed it to an OT heading.

[Guerri Stevens]

Really?? I always think of you as "67829" (just kidding).

You'll notice that you've gained 3 and are now "67832".

I am posting from the Parlor in the tapcis.com forums. The numbers are evidently the message numbers so that you can link back to them if you're in the forum and want to go directly back to the original message. It has nothing to do with my Google problems. Within the forum, the quote is preceded by the word "quote" and followed by a shaded box that says "originally posted by Dodi Schultz" with a little greater than sign and then the quote itself. If I click on the greater than sign, it'll take me to your original message.

You mean you go to the tapcis.com website to send messages to the group?
Instead of just using Tbird to send an e-mail? Why? (Just puzzled/curious.)

With 10 seconds to the deadline I have no time to think. I vote for 13
and 17.

The 678## numbers are used internally in the forum software to link posts
to individual messages.

Sigh! Yes, I have been going to the tapcis.com website to send messages
to the group. I have talked about this in another thread. Believe me, if
the usual Email process had been working for me, I would be using it!

I am responding by hitting Reply in Tbird, but I think it is not going
to work.

Looks like the latest tweak I did fixed your issue.

There has been an option for moderators to "always allow" messages posted
by non-members. This was done for both you and Scott Crom a few years ago
and worked for some time, by adding a fake email member: name (AT) domain (DOT) com
became name%domain.com (AT) gtempaccount (DOT) com. However, recently that wasn't
working any more and both your messages started hitting the moderation
queue.

I removed the temp account and added your account directly with the same
settings, and it looks like that might have reset things to work properly.
Cross your fingers.
