Interesting note on that, my wife is a NICU nurse. Being married to a tech geek, she is pretty proficient at the interweb ;) This week she sent a pretty important email to another nurse, regarding a new nurse in training. It was also key she got it in a timely manner. Earthlink challenge response. However after she sent email, the kids were screaming as usuall, so she got off laptop. Typical pop account didn't check for another 10 minutes after she sent. She had already shutdown ibook. I think it was 2 days later she checks her email and sees the challenge response. Funny to see the end user response of "WTF is this?" and "Why won't it send my message?" After I explained it, she filled out the quick form, and hit submit. To which Earthlink responded, "Can't find original message to send......" Looks like the delete after a day! This sent my wife into a spiral of profanity that had me laughing all day. She ended it by saying, "Screw this, I'll just call her and never email her again. Stupid earthlink!" :) Which proves two points: 1) C/R is flawed 2) End users are funny --Chris
