*sigh*. I'm trying to. I really am. And I'm sure that sooner or 
later, this is going to work. After all, I've already been blocked by 
Joel's mail scripts, another mail bouncing, a mistyped address, and 
my own email program trying to keep me from doing things in anger; 
Sooner or later we're bound to run out of ways for this to fail.

So here it goes, the fifth attempt at getting this message to spoon-business:

---------------


Dammit, Eudora decided to delay the sending of this message without
telling me, because I said 'shit' at one point, so it thinks I must
be really angry. The funny thing is, I wasn't angry 'til it started
trying to help me. I'm really starting to get irritated now.

Alright, here's what I just tried to say:

---------------

Okay, I'm going to try this ONE more time, and if this doesn't work,
I might as well just quit. Two former tries at this got 'suspended
pending admin approval'; one of those has now been rejected, and the
other's certainly been hung up long enough to be. So I went and
subscribed this address, even though I'd hoped to make do merely
using wonko@xxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile, I think this is gonna be an HTML message; I can't find
anything that will shut that off (I kicked myself in the ass later in
this message just to be safe). For that matter, I also can't find my
list of 'sent messages'. Or even a way to filter nomic messages,
though I think I know what I need to do first to make that work.

But I must admit, I've lost all respect I had for Eudora, 'cause this
is crap. (heh, and now it's trying to warn me that my message is too
angry, 'cause I said 'crap'. And 'ass'. Wow, two whole  jalapeno
peppers :) Oh, and although fn-delete functions as a forward delete,
and option-delete functions as an entire word delete, opt-fn-delete
doesn't function as a forward entire word delete. Who designed this
lump of fetid dingo shit? (Ah, there's that third jalapeno I was
looking for. Apparently repeated uses of 'crap' and 'ass' aren't
enough to warrant the third; I need to use one of the *really*
offensive ones. I'm going to have to investigate this thing further
(by which I mean, of course, that I'm going to have to start swearing
at people on my contact list. In the name of science, of course) )

So here's what I've been trying to say for the past week:

To: spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx
From: Daniel Lepage <dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: Votes
Cc:
Bcc:
X-Attachments:

I notice that in the recent voting results, I was assumed to vote in
accordance with the M-Tek position. Looking back over the records, I
realize that I voted to spoon-discuss; does this mean my votes were
simply never seen by Dave? Damn.

BTW, I forgot to copy over all my saved msgs and whatnot to this
spiffy new laptop I got, and I'm not at home right now, so can
somebody send me a msg at dpl33@xxxxxxxxxxx explaining where I go to
change wonko@xxxxxxxxxx to forward stuff to my cornell address
instead of my home one? And anything sent privately to me in the past
week or so probably never reached me, and won't until I go home again
in slightly under three weeks.

And I pay 4 points to the Underground Society.

And assuming the most recently posted Go board is accurate,  I place
a stone at K6.

Finally, I kick myself in the ass, because I think this thing's gonna
go ahead and send an HTML message until I can figure out how to use
Eudora.
