Not sure what just happened shortly after Midnight, about the Welcome email

[djkimmel]

Looking at the results of the late at night crash decision I made to bring everyone back active (because I knew the few members who were on at the time would be confused and shocked, especially considering who they were), maybe I should send out a weird email about your accounts every 6 months. We had more actual members logon today than in quite a while in any 24 period!! Hmmm? New marketing idea...?

Seriously, I tried to stop the automatic email from going out for the re-activate all method I used, but the kind programmers gave me no option to do so. I really am sorry about the confusion. And a little upset that 1, maybe 2 members are actually wanting to terminate their accounts over it... Seems like overkill to me considering the un-plethora of system email I have sent to all of you... but, whatever.

Life here goes on despite. I did end up (about the 4th try to narrow down the problem - sorry to the members who were on between Midnight and 1AM) with a faster and private way to correct a similar problem if it happens again.

Dan,
Don't sweat it man. I run and have built hundreds of sites and if this is the worst that has ever happened to you after all these years you're pretty darn lucky. Anyone that would leave over this has got other issues. Sometimes it's just a ghost in the machine.

Thanks. This one appears to have been just a program incompatibility that was fixed with a small upgrade after the spam service got all (most) their bugs worked out. I've been pretty lucky all around, no doubt.

Aliens.  Or maybe a 12-year-old Ukraine computer prodigy.

Still no evidence of either. Aliens would be cool. As long as no vaporization was involved anyway... I don't think I could recover from that.

And to think, I thought you just really liked me and wanted to welcome me again.  Now I'm crushed.  It was just an accident.

I sent your's manually by hand. Does that make you feel any better?

Oh... and welcome Mike!

Awwwwww.  Thanks Dan!
