Returned Mail
Posted: Apr 09, 2005 4:57pm
It is very likely that any messages you sent me between Tuesday the 5th and Friday the 9th were bounced back to you. This is due to Hotmail deleting my account after a disgruntled forum user by the name of Jacobi Knight jacobi_knight@yahoo.com submitted a false accusation against me.
Now, this is not entirely his fault, as Hotmail should have been more responsible and checked into it better. They didn't even contact me prior to deleting my account! Still, I would have to say it is mostly his fault, so please feel free to express your gratitude. Here's what happened....
Jacobi Knight created an account on the forum, posted a SPAM message, and never came back. Later on, somebody tried to send him a private message through the forums, which will send out an automatic email notification to the recipient, unless the recipient disabled that option, which he didn't. He responded to this email with the word "unsubscribe". Because that e-mail was not part of some mailing list, I replied telling him about the setting I just mentioned and how to disable it.
He then replied with an extremely vulgar email saying he forgot his username. So I replied telling him how to recover his username. He replied with an even more vulgar message about nothing, just a message for the sake of cussing me out. I replied telling him that because he had been so polite, I would start emailing him friendly reminders to log in and delete his account. I also mentioned that I might even add a feature to the forum software which would automatically email him every day until he logged in and deleted his account.
And that's when Hotmail disabled my account. For everyone who sent messages prior to the 5th, don't worry, they're all safe. Now I am using my absoluteanime.com mail account, which I was eventually going to switch over to anyway. Not only is it more reliable than Hotmail, but if there's any kind of problem I can just make a phone call, I don't have to wade through Microsoft's technical support just to end up getting a useless response. So I guess you could say that Jacobi actually did me a favor. You can even go ahead and thank him for me if you want. His email address is jacobi_knight@yahoo.com.
