I just sent you an email, **Plan B**. (Assuming I can count, you have one invite left?) :: crosses fingers:: ---

Er, two invites left. Clearly, we shouldn’t assume I can read. ---

Wow, if this is still going on, I would love one. Email on the way. ---

I sent out the two invites to the first two responders. Sorry about the next six who sent an email since then. If they give me some more I’ll post it here again. ---

Well, it looks like I was too slow, so I could still use an invite if anyone wanted to, you know, send me one. [erik\_hates\_junkmail@hotmail.com](mailto:erik_hates_junkmail@hotmail.com) ---

I’m getting tired of the 2mb limit on my hotmail account. If anyone has an invite to spare I’d love it! [buttthorl@netscape.net](mailto:buttthorl@netscape.net) Thanks! ---

I would like to throw my name out here on the list for a gmail account. I am back from a Straight Dope haitus as I have been gone most of the summer. If I am within my bounds as a humble doper, my email adress is m063312@usna.edu If any invites remain, exist, or come up, I would be grateful to send one my way. Thank you fellow dopers. ---

So how do they decide when users get invites to send? I got one, and I’ve been using my account regularly since I got it through this thread (thanks to the eternally cool **alterego** ). I’ve only got 4MB of crap sitting in my account, but I thought once I got that first invite, surely they’d start rolling in. Is it beacuse the person I sent it to apparently isn’t using his account very much? Anyway, back to the topic at hand. **I’ve got a friend who would like an account** , and since I’ve given up waiting for Google to grant me another invite, I’m appealing to the collective generosity of the Teeming Millions once again. My addy’s in the profile. Thanks in advance. ---

This thread is still continuing? Well, then … sign me up! If anyone could be so kind as to send this typo-prone Doper an invite, it would be much, much, much appreciated. c y b u r b i a #at# c y b u r b i a _dot_ o r g ---

My invites seem to have dried up. Not sure if that applies to everyone or not… ---

I just got one to give out - email your name and address to [jrootabega@gmail.com](mailto:jrootabega@gmail.com) Requests processed FIFO, of course. 🙂 Sorry to the people who posted requests here and haven’t gotten replies - no quick way to tell who’s already been “serviced” so I have to clear the switchboard. ---

I’m also looking for a gmail account to get away from a stalker ex. If anyone has one, or knows of anyone who has one, I’d greatly appreciate it and send you a little token of my esteem for you. Thanks so much! (Poster formerly known as **hopefool** – who’s ex is such an idiot that he wouldn’t understand a name change) ---
