me: yeah, I know.  But most of the time I check my E-mail several 
times a day and read all the OTR messages anyway, or at least look at 
them and delete them if they're about Buffy or something else I'm not 
interested in.  So usually it would be an extra check to have it 
filter into its own folder.

well, for one thing they have big adds at the bottom of E-mails.  Some 
of the annoyance is self-induced becuase I made dumb protocals to keep 
people I don't know from bugging us.  And my friends are helpless so I 
have to add them myself instead of them doing it.  And occasionally it 
just randomly decides to not let someone post or not let them receive 
messages, and I don't always figure out why.  (although actwin does 
that sometimes too for that matter)

Bethany, ordered Ohio with the cheapest shipping, wonders if that was 
a mistake.
