Subject: wa-wd.com: Monthly news and list of living octogenarians
WA&WD News – 1 April 2017
- As you may have noticed or seen me comment on recently, Yahoo Groups has had
its ups and downs over the years, and in March, there were more downs than
ever. A couple of the weekly roundups earlier in the month took two or three
tries to send. I had an enormous amount of trouble sending David Rockefeller’s
death bulletin, but Chuck Barris’s bulletin sent two days later went as smooth
as silk. The Frequently Asked Question this month was, “Why don’t you change?”
Well, it would be a pretty big task to change list providers, and Yahoo does
provide several benefits, and besides - and I cannot stress how important this
is in the calculation: it’s free. I realize that one day I may have to change,
but I will wait until Yahoo becomes unbearable for a protracted period of time.
Until that day comes, I want to remind everyone that if you want to check
on a breaking news death, you can always look at the Dead or Alive Data Base
home page, the Who’s Alive and Who’s Dead home page, the DOADB app for Android,
or the RSS feed. All of these sources are updated as soon as I press the
“Submit” button on my end, without any need for it to be received and processed
by Yahoo. So, if you don’t get your death bulletin via e-mail, please check one
of the above sources before writing to tell me that I “missed one,” because
chances are that I have been trying for hours to get it out of Yahoo’s limbo.
