Okay. I’m checking. We should probably stop posting dumb little things like this. Someone is probably looking for genuinely interesting public discussions in these threads. A series of exchanges between two people telling each other to check their e-mail isn’t exactly thrilling to the other Dopers here. ---

No, but it in a weird convoluted sort of way is related to the original OP ---

Remind me not to post in this thread again–it’s the kiss of death (rather like my internet personals experience.) ---

**Payne** –I’ll e-mail you some time today or tonight. **Lno** –same thing. I don’t have net access from my place, so, unless I’m working on the weekends (which is more frequent than I’d like), I can’t do anything with my e-mail until it’s the workweek again. It would be kind of ironic if I offered to e-mail people and then just didn’t, now, wouldn’t it? ---
