| TechrightsBot-sc | @trmanco: @schestowitz I'll see if I can come by more often :) | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | Nice | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | wallc might come back too | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | There was a misunderstanding: | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > I'm still here, but I don't check this email very often. You see, I | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > originally set this email up expressly to communicate with you on the | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > Comes vs MS stuff. It made it easier for me to keep track of them. | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > Yours are the only two email addresses in the contacts list. | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > At one point I had a great many things to talk to you about, but | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > communication with you became very difficult. My emails went unanswered | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > (yes, I know email isn't always reliable, but I did give it more than | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | > one try). | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | Wow! I think that's just what happened with my uncle (he's about 80), with whom I had communication problems after E-mails between us got intercepted by the ISP (silent spam filters). It was the most frustrating experience because our friendship was ruined by it, and *that* is what led me to quitting E-mail. It had become too unreliable. Whenever I received mail from you I responded. If I didn't, I probably never received it. | Feb 04 06:25 |
| schestowitz | Right now I feel the same frustration as I felt with my uncle (he is on identi.ca now, thankfully!). | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | Feb 04 06:26 | |
| schestowitz | > Then, when I read on IRC that you preferred not to do emails anymore, a | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > sentiment you expressed several times, I felt that maybe you were | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > avoiding my emails on purpose. | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | No, I avoided E-mail *precisely* because I was losing messages, which in terms harmed friendships and bond at work. I wanted to encourage friends and colleagues to contact me using other means of communication. IRC is actually highly reliable and fast. Identi.ca is also super-reliable. It's great for group discussions, too. | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > I pondered why you might do that and concluded that you were trying to | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > push me to use the IRC channel more. But IRC, for me, ended up being a | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > horrible experience. I simply won't go there anymore, in fact, I haven't | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > even read the logs in quite a while. | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | Yes, you left around the time that the Lins** trolls abducted the channel and made it Hell. We no longer have those trolls there. They left. In fact, we hardly ever have *any* trolls intruding the channel at all. More recently (since last week) some Lins** trolls started showing up in blog comments. I can guess why... | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | Feb 04 06:26 | |
| schestowitz | > I've never been mad at you because of it. I just assumed that you had | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > been bombarded by so many trolls that you got tired of cleaning up the | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > troll-spam in your email inbox. Also, life became difficult for me in | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > other areas, and I needed to focus on things here at home. So I stopped | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > worrying about it and, as a result, stopped checking this email as often | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > as I used to. | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | I mailed you a month ago. I'll resend it in case it was intercepted (yes, that's why I don't trust E-mail). | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > But I read Techrights everyday, and I always enjoy listening to your | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > audiocasts with Gordon and Tim. In fact, I wish I had the money to | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > donate to all of you so everyone could purchase better audio equipment. | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > If I ever get rich, it's the first thing I'll do...(it's the "getting | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > rich" part that's been most challenging). | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | That's very touching, thanks! | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > I also got an Identi.ca account, but haven't had time to really spend | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > there. You once sent me a message, telling me to check my "index"...I | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > dug around looking for an index to check, but never found it. I know, | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > it's probably something obvious, but I had no idea where to look for it, | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > and was too embarrassed to ask. | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | I probably means "inbox". I couldn't find a response from you. I bet that too was intercepted by the ISP. Actually, to assure you receive the message, I shall append it below. | Feb 04 06:26 |
| schestowitz | > Life here on the home-front is still rather stressful, and I only have | Feb 04 06:26 |
