As I implicated in the last message my mailer has broken down and won't
let me read my mail (I can read it with some trouble using vi :)
It seems that the mailertrouble was harder to do anything about than
I thought. Someone with admin priviliges have to (probably) delete my
mailbox after copying it up to my homedir.
So far everyone here has been singularily unhelpful:
"Talk to someone else."
"I'ts bound to be your own fault."
"Yes, I'm the one that you should talk to about emergencies, but this
isn't an emergency, this is just your private problem and I don't
care how or if you solve it."
"I don't have root privileges." "But you one of the administrators?!." "As I
said, this is your own problem."
"You shouldn't have such a large mailbox." "I didn't have a large mailbox.
I had just a handful in it, I have had over 50 messages there before and it
always worked." "Well, you shouldn't have such a large mailbox. If it hadn't
been so large this would never had happened. No matter the size of it, it
was too large because this happened." (Spoken by someone who didn't have
a faintest about what really had happened with it and didn't think it
important enough to let me explain what had happened.
Jeez! Where do they dig them up?)
The matter is made somewhat worse because I'm waiting for stuff to a con
here in Gothenburg to arrive in the mail now soon and the deadline is sunday.
As you might tell, I'm not in a good mood at all right now.
I would apreciate it if everyone could delay your mails to me until next
monday. This include TML digests, PBEM things and TDR things and the testing
of the ship design and everything else. The reason for this is that
they might disappear into the big bit bucket by accident or carelessness when
my mailbox is repaired on sunday(?). Im also not sure how much the mailbox can
takes befor it crashes for size reasons. If that happens then the flightpath of
the natural waste products is really going to intersect the moving parts of the
rotating air-stream creation implement:(
