> [@Boscibo](#): > > I wouldn’t mind an invite - boscibo at yahoo dot com > > Thanks in advance 🙂 I want to thank the doper who sent me an invite - thank you! And Yahoo did shuffle the invite into my bulk mail folder. I had spam in my inbox, and the invite in my bulk mail. Yahoo sure does things backwards. :rolleyes: ---

Okay, 5 invites. First 5 people to send me something with an 8Mb+ attachment\*. \*This may seem a strange request… but alterego has heaps of invites and he’s filled his right up to 800Mb. So if my theory works, I’ll get more invites and I’ll give 'em to poor dialup people, next time around. ---

Thank you **alterego**! I’m a GMailin’ machine. Anyone have any idea how they allocate invitations to the users so I can return the favour to some of the other dopers? ---

Why not? I have other webmail accounts floating in the internet see, forgotten, like so much digital detritus… a good, solid account, I might actually use! So. **alterego** , if you still have one to spare, please consider sending an invite to jrfarley at adelphia dot net - If more specific name information is needed, then I will reply to you from that email address when I get home this afternoon. Onto the dilemma of planning which username to use… ---

But I accidentally deleted it because Yahoo put it in my bulk mail folder and I didn’t realize it until I read this thread. :smack: Is it possible to resend the same invite? ---
