Good Morning. ~~~ 
~~~
Tibby. IDK why the time was so important...but the newsletter had a date/time stamp of 6:18 p.m.
Which, for having been on ECF for 2.5 years, is "Just receiving" the 1st newsletter even if I posted an hour or so later.
Fuel prices suck. Nat gas is less expensive here. Just switched to nat gas from propane last year. Cost $$$$ to have them lay the pipe to the house...but you can pay it off at $25.00 per month and I don't remember the interest rate. That really sad thing is that you can't overpay the loan to pay it down earlier. If you overpay, they send the overpay portion back to you. All you can do is a total early payoff and there's probably a penalty for that too. So someone financed it and more or less gets a guaranteed interest payment.
Again, this is why people that are well off have it easy (they just pay for it out of pocket, no interest) and the rest get the shaft. But at least they made it possible to switch, and the payment is low. So I can't complain too much. I'm sure there's problems on their end too...collections and such.

Good morning
No chance to email yesterday Tibs, so no word.

That's my favorite optimistic cynic! Always seeing the bright side!
Morning CES and Tibs and Fran and Tom and whomever is here!
Just a flyby. Laters!

~~~~~~~~ @ that attyman!
no importance implied - just my nosiness!
some people did not have a newsletter by 7pm and thought it was due to alphabetical sorting. to me it looked more like a mailing by the order we joined! no conclusive proof either way, so far!

since all of us received it at about the same time, perhaps it was sent in one huge mailing (now that you brought it up, I'm curious about the logistics too)
couldn't have been one mailing - some people had nothing by 7pm ..................... and since bear didn't have his maybe it was alphabetical, come to think of it i forgot bear's name starts with 's'
bear might be able to clear it up for us .................

i wasn't sure if Bear's "no" really meant "no", alternatively whether it went to junk mail for some people.
the email addy i use for ECF starts with C, but yours starts with T...so that's not it

He either
A) Had his e-mail address wrong
B) it went into some spam filter
C) His ISP is not doing enough "P"

it might bug me so much i might pm sarge
as to alphabetical - my bet was we are in the ecf database by forum name .............
and where's atty? why are there TWO updates this week requiring a restart? he usually knows!

Just update it. Sheeesh! Depends on what you have installed too....
If you keep trying to figure out these irrelevant things, you'll get distracted and end up messing up something simple. Then you'll get a broken pinky or something.....
Oh, and leave poor Sarge alone! Unless you also ask him "Where's the opt-out setting?". Then, go ahead and bug him.
