Otto's Lament came through 4x.  Whether this is significant to the
disappearance of Part 4 of the story or not, I do not know.  I merely note
it in case it's significant. to the problem of missing information.

Carry on.

Thanks for the link.

>   - White nighties look odd on grown men.

Actually, I thought it looked sexy as hell.  That might have had something
to do with it being somewhat diaphanous. ;-)

I have a mental image for you.

LaCroix jitterbugging.


You may now return to your regularly scheduled thoughts.

Subject: Admin: Post approval, etc.

1st., Don is the listowner who does the approval or disapproval for those
who are set to review.. Those posts don't come to me at all unless they
appear on the list. I"m sorry if that's causing a problem.

Now, here's why we have the listserv software set up so that it
automatically puts any new address on review.  It can't tell if the new sub
is actually a long-time member. It even did this to me when I subscribed a
secondary address.  Some years ago, we had a problem with a flamester who
was determined to set fire to the list and to me in particular.  The
flamester kept coming back under different addresses, Finally we set the
software so that all new subs are set to review.

If this happens to you and you think I can help, let me know. I can reset a
sub to noreview. Usually I do this when I know that subscriber.  If this
sounds overcautious, trust me. You do not want to be in a firefight. It's
not pleasant.

Thanks, all.

From:    Otto Maton <auto17921111@h.......>
Subject: Re: Weirder & Bizarroid story

I'm intending for this to go to the list (disclaiming this as I sent 3
private email replies  to the list several hours agoby mistake but
hopefully they won't make it through). Please note: time (ie "4 hrs
ago") will be altered by the time you read this as some of my emails
to the list have been delayed by 12 and sometimes almost 24hrs.

I just want to say that I had replied to all of you who have sent me
inquiries directly to my email and I sent you all the story (part 4)
some 4 hours ago. Every single one of you whose email was at my inbox
was emailed at least one personal reply, not just a standard
copy/paste. But M.L's new inquiry (sent to my email about 1 hour ago)
leads me to believe that maybe some of you never received it and
perhaps there is a problem with my emails repeatedly not being
delivered to recipients? This would actually solve the mystery of why
85% of the FK list people whom I've emailed privately never reply my
emails. (Not knowing any better, I've chucked it to it being a
"Canadian thing" and a major culture clash, to say the least.) I am
still puzzled as to why 2 persons chose to ignore my emails of way
back when and truly did rack my brains as to what could possibly have
been either misunderstood or simply caused them to react with sheer
silence, but Don's reply of this morning allowed me to see that he,
too, never received my inquiry as to why my list reply to Greer's new
factions request never posted. (Although I mournfully lament the lack
of Nick's colorful blazer factions of mainly S1, I did have me a good
laugh at Nick's See Thru Knightie. Greer is just brilliant in her
work, both of the digital and written kind and the FK fandom is truly
lucky to have her among our own. And I hope I'm not being too forward
saying "our" as I've been on the outside looking in for I think
decades now, never able to touch a---uh...well, water under the bridge
now.)

I know that sometimes things get "lost in translation", tone does not
translate in email and people often second guess stuff that wasn't
there---nor implied---according to how they're feeling when they read
it, and also I think we've all assumed one thing was said when the
intention was quite different at one time or another, people don't
always grasp my often irreverent, facetious, corny or absurd humor and
even last month a close friend attributed malice to something I said
via email in jest and I'm glad I wasn't given the silent treatment
because that would have caused more problems; instead I was able to
pick up the phone and---in spite of the total shock I sensed at the
end of the line calling unannounced---say "hey, sorry I came across
that way, I honestly was not upset and didn't mean to upset you, I
wasn't being rude, I wrote that in jest as a figure of speech". We
cleared the air, my friend was glad I phoned and we're good as new.

So, if you have emailed me in response to my post of yesterday, and
you have not received my email reply, please know I'm not ignoring you
and kindly do let me know. I'm sure I will receive your email, but not
sure you will receive my reply back. At any rate, Steph has graciously
uploaded the Bizarroid (to say the least) *G*  fic to her FTP stories
archives site so hopefully you'll all be able to read it. However I
would still like to know if my personal emails are getting as lost as
those I had typed in the list box at the .edu site.

Sorry for any inconvenience to everyone, hope this posts and hope
you're having a great Tuesday/Wednesday, wherever you are!
Otto.

Would some kind soul please point me to where this list is? Or, please send
me the list? I never saw it.

Either way, please send it off list.
