I can't believe it!  The AOL man told me I had mail and when I opened my cute little mailbox, there it was!  An actual. Letter. From.  GATHER!!!  To little old insignificant ME!  I'm sorry.  I'm too excited to write any more right now.  I'll be back when the palpitations stop.

Oh Great Dame! This seemed very strange news at first. I got my message yesterday. But then I realized Gather must have wanted to work the bugs out before sending it to you. I'm happy to have been a guinea pig to assure you the best message possible.

Dame Ruth, I knew you would get your letter. Damn that AOHell. It sometimes takes me days to get something from my husband when he sends something from MSN. Our offices are about 30 feet apart too.
Dannielle S. Mar 7, 2007, 5:29pm EST
Ruth, don't get too excited -- Melissa shared the contents of that particular missive, and it makes me nostalgic for the old days when we could at least make paper airplanes out of junk mail.
You're the only 80-something Valley Girl I know.
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Mar 7, 2007, 5:37pm EST
Dannielle, are you telling me somebody else got one, too? Et tu, Charlie? Je suis desolee. *shuffling off in despair*
Laura C. Mar 7, 2007, 5:42pm EST
guess gather doesn't think i'm special "sniffle" I didn't get a letter..."sigh"
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Mar 7, 2007, 5:50pm EST
Okay, I have to confess: I didn't actually get the letter. It went to a different email address I sometimes use for lurking purposes. But I got to read it, so I can pretend Gather loves me, right?

You have an email for "lurking" purposes? How wonderful!
Jackie L. Mar 7, 2007, 6:44pm EST
John, please contact all of your sex partners from the last five years.

Ruth, I got one too! Gather LOVES us!
Dame Ruth, Chief Executive Elitist D. Mar 7, 2007, 7:02pm EST
Sure, Joanne...doesn't everyone?
roxanne m. Mar 7, 2007, 7:13pm EST
Gather adores me too...I got one in my Yahoo account yesterday....
All I got was this lousy restraining order.......
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Mar 7, 2007, 7:57pm EST
I'm telling you guys, only people who need more points received the letter. Those of us who are up to a case a month on the beer money chart did not get the letters.

I got a letter too! Never knew I was special. I hope Randy got his by now. I saw he was very upset yesterday about not having one.
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Mar 7, 2007, 10:06pm EST
Maybe they skipped everyone whose name ends in 'andy'?
Yay! You are special!

Sandy, thank you for the chuckle!
*LORA* M. Mar 8, 2007, 1:07am EST
I got two of them....
Sandy (Site Psychic™) Knauer Mar 8, 2007, 2:08am EST
Cameron E. is back?
Bridget ♥ Mar 8, 2007, 3:46am EST
I'm special too! I got the letter/email!
Lori (Dr Devience) Leidig Mar 8, 2007, 7:14am EST
I want a lurk account!
Mary C Legg Mar 8, 2007, 8:00am EST
mike e-- I'll give you a coy of my 24hour notie from MA if that makes you feel any better


oh god, how could I miss out on a REAL LETTER from Gather-- Dame Ruth, this belongs in the NoNews-- have you considered submitting this there?
Mary C Legg Mar 8, 2007, 8:03am EST
Jackie " John, please contact all of your sex partners from the last five years."


maybe this explains the predominance of Don H-- it's all that rus women trafficking he does.


note they sent the damn thing to me, too but Gather points aer worthless outside the US-- such a crock of piss
JlynnJ S. Mar 8, 2007, 7:16pm EST
I Received a letter from Gather too... So I must be special.
Selene N. Mar 14, 2007, 9:05pm EDT
I got a personalized email from them before, too. I think the Gather team really works hard for the members.
Gather sends letters? Why didn't I get one? Of course, I have a small company that takes care of my email, so AOHell doesn't come into the picture. What IS a letter? from Gather? Hmmmm......
Mary C Legg Mar 21, 2007, 6:34am EDT
I've been FLAGGED AGAIN
This time for a very mild objection to mass emailing.
I am 80percent certain of the Flagger
Who obviously will benefit greatly from the traffic pointing toward his page

please do me the kindness of posting this and passing it along its merry little way/

We should have a Flaggee's Club with a Flagged Unite Fight Song

And it totally confounds me that such a person can consider himself to be a serious writer when it's very obvious that he couldn't handle a rejection slip. The world is full of mystery. We have yet to discover the depth of it.
