Some emails were just sent to PLUG and PLUG-TALK three days after I wrote and hit "send" on this computer. Why?
I haven't figured out the details, but finally I realized this happened after a 3 second PGE power outage. Probably a power flicker or two before permanent power. I just realized that this put my not-yet-upgraded ALIX firewall computer in a funny state - responsive, but somehow some ALIX software modules (like mail handling) went into a zombied state. After a restart, the ALIX released bolus of outbound emails, like those about searching for the Alaska MAX 9 door plug with NTSB. The firewall will be updated soon, and will be on a UPS, but before upgrades are complete, there will be funny behaviors like that, and some of you may wonder "WTF is keithl doing?" even MORE than most times.
