Looks like Yahoo is back to its old tricks again with folks getting bouncing mail. Why I dunno. They are probably working on their software again for the 40th time. Have you received any email unsent notices?

After a fashion, Mr Worf. I dumped Yahu several months ago, using it only because four people I know apparently refuse to read the e-mail I sent them telling them that I was dumping the account. The rest of the stuff, I had forwarded to this account. A couple of things I had forwarded and answered

Funny, I especially love the way the author sequed from Dracula/Nosferatu (which was a great flick, by the way) into Varsity Blues ripping off "Friday Night Lights". This list, of course, is so short it's funny. They could have listed dozens of crappy ripoffs that are at least as egregious. "Sta

I'm going to state my piece on #10, which is that Hollywood chose to *make* it look like another Harry Potter, especially on the posters.

Agreeing with you here, Adrianne. I'm not much of a fan of either series, but they're barely alike, once you step past the fact that the heroes are teens who have yet to recognize their place in the order of things. On Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 12:30 PM, Adrianne Brennan < adrianne.bren...@gmail.com> wr
