i am exceedingly angry

I am exceedingly angry. My provider (the same soon-to-be-obsolete provider who has blocked about half my email from reaching me and has not yet told me of this) today lost a day's worth of email. Poof. Gone forever.

That's not a problem so much - accidents happen, although one wonders why the most recent backup they had was from late August - but again they haven't informed their customers! I lost a day of mail, but I check mine every day. Some customers may have lost several weeks' worth. Have they mentioned it? No.

The only reason I know about it is because I have an unusual setup and I am smarter than your average bear about these things, having been on the opposite site of the server a few times myself. But surely they can't be hoping no one will notice?

I say again: I cannot leave them fast enough. The web sites already have; now hopefully my email will move quickly enough that they won't win a war of attrition against my regular correspondents.

Meanwhile I am taking drastic measures. If you've tried to write me and I haven't replied, I probably didn't get it. I usually send some kind of acknowledgement.

Until this changeover is complete, please feel free to send mail to [alternate address removed], which is on another provider and considerably more reliable at present.

Meanwhile I shall content myself by planning the nasty letter I am going to write these people when I say goodbye.
