The downside to using a distributor is that invitations appear to be replenished depending on being accepted and activated. Also, once you send the e-mail, it expires in 3 weeks. My gmail alter-ego still has invites but only for direct off-list rquests to webstalkers@xxxxxxxxxx If you don't hear back in 24 hours, then you can assume that I ran out :) If that happens, feel free to try back in a week as I will not pollute the list with GMail offers any more as I think it is wearing thin for many. Stephen webstalkers@xxxxxxxxx p.s. e-mail replies to the list or anywhere other than the gmail address provided will be ignored so please look at your to and cc fields carefully. >>> uberdba <uberdba@xxxxxxxxx> 09/17/04 08:44AM >>> Steve, I'm happy to report that thanks to the contributors on the list, all of the current gmail requests have been services. There is still a pool of available invitations. Keep them coming ;) Best, -Daniel On Fri, 17 Sep 2004 22:05:57 +1000, Steve Adams <steve.adams@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello All, > > So far as I am aware, Daniel is still acting as the distributor > of gmail accounts for this list.
