[pure-silver] Re: TESTING; no posts

Hi Bob,
I empathize with you. I get the same when all of a sudden there is no mail from any of the lists I belong to. And I don't rely on my e-mail and the Internet for business. I can understand that when your business is tied in to a supposedly functioning server and there are no messages that you would get anxious about your server and whether it is up and still running.
If we joke about it, it is not to belittle your plight. WE understand your problem but I never realized that it was that expensive.
Thanks for reminding us that we are indeed privileged to have the services we have at the prices that we have them. I think that we sometimes take it for granted and assume that everybody else is in the same situation.
Anyway, when in doubt about your server, don't hesitate to ask if we are still around and if you are getting through. I'll make it a point to be responsive without the ribaldry. 

All the best,
Bogdan

DEAR BOGDAN,
        My compliments to all of you who live in the first world where your
ISPs are even remotely reliable.  As mentioned in the past I have very
nearly lost a few large, lucrative accounts due to e-mails lost by my
charming ISP.  In one case, I actually had to recreate a very large estimate
from memory at a distant internet café and send it by FAX because my local
ISP just failed to deliver after three tries to different addresses. Soooooooooooooo when, suddenly, I receive no posts for more than 16 
hours from three rather busy groups, all on "freelists", it is reason to at
least ask for confirmation that all is still working.
        And, yes, thanks for the good natured ribbing about e-mail
addiction.  Good fun.  Of course, if y'all lived on an island where, due to
most of your clients and suppliers being in just about any other part of the
world, your phone/fax bill would be over $1,000 per month before you got
e-mail and less than $100 after got e-mail.  Most of you have no idea how
inexpensive your telecom is compared to ours.  This might make you at least
reliant, if not dependent, on e-mail. Again, thanks for the cheerful jokes! "I resemble that remark!" 
Keeps me from taking it TOO seriously!
                CHEERS!
BOB

   DEAR LIST,

               I haven't received any posts for 14 hours so I am testing.
