   Actually, all I said regarding e-mailing anyone is asking Stephen if he was   
   saying that the mods were blocking him from e-mailing jms.

   It's always worked for me.  Now sometimes the answer to my question was "fix   
   the problem that's on your end".  When I bothered to look into it, the   
   problem was *always* on my end.  Your mileage may vary.

   Or, as was my experience, the mods were unwilling (and I'll point out not   
   obligated) to fix communications problems that were based on my end of the   
   system.

   I call 'em as I see 'em.  Jay or Cheryl (if they're even reading this) can   
   attest to the fact that I've confronted them when I thought they were in the   
   wrong.

   Nice troll, hon. :)
