Your invite has been sent, Little Plastic Ninja. You had a yahoo email, so it’ll probably turn up in your bulk email folder.

I’m still begging for one. If it makes anyone like me better, my wife just found out she’s pregnant again the other day, and I quit telemarketing a month ago and I’ve been working 12 hours a day behind a hot grill at a restaurant. So somebody please take pity on me 🙂

My addy is [jonesworthy@atlanticbb.net](mailto:jonesworthy@atlanticbb.net)

Thanks in advance!

Seriously, thanks a lot. I really appreciate it. 🙂

Can I have an account? 😃

I realize I’m probably way late and roughly #5.076 on the list, but hey 😉

Spammers found my other accounts, so it’s time to start fresh.

My current e-mail is kkbattousai {at} sixdegreesofnothing {dot} com.

Thanks!

Sorry if this has already been posted, but if you can’t score one from a Doper (or just can’t wait), it might be worth checking out this guy’s auctions:

[http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=brauer013&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50](http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=brauer013&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50)

He has 17 pages of gmail invites at 1c each - beats the ones being offered for $300 on eBay! I’m thinking of bidding on one just to see what all the fuss is about. 🙂

Everyone has been invited. I have 4 left. If you got invited twice please make sure you share the love!

PS please reference me specifically when you ask and include your e-mail address so we can make sure people don’t get invited more than once.

I’d love to get my hands on an account if anyone has one just laying around! My email is [rayray5884@sbcglobal.net](mailto:rayray5884@sbcglobal.net)

Kinda reminds me of when the boards went paid. Everyone wanted to help everyone. Just another reason why this board is the best! Thanks in advance!

I have two invites left for today. If you would like one please say so with my name bolded in your reply, and include your e-mail address. Also, please don’t send me an e-mail asking for one because it just makes it confusing.

**Alterego** , thank you so much; I’m setting up the account now. It’s very nice of you to take the time to provide all of us poor saps with these accounts. We very much appreciate it.
