I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There's something weird going on in the Other Media thread. It looks as though there is an unclosed italics tag somewhere, but I'm damned if I can find it. It starts here:

Daisy Jane "Other Media 2: It's Astounishing!" Jul 10, 2007 5:28:42 pm PDT

The thing is, DJ used the quick-edit for italics, not the <i> tag, so it should've closed. None of the other posts seem to have the tag. It's very mysterious.

eta: And Jon figured it out. It was in the next post's tag.

I have a question- are the geo mailing lists disabled? I just tried to send something out to somervillains@buffistas.org and got a bounceback:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

: 205.214.170.170 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.7.17) Giving up on 205.214.170.170.

The b.org mailing lists have nothing to do with yahoo. If you got a bounceback from yahoo, it's because one of the Somervillains has a now-defunct yahoo.com email address.

They should be working. I was able to log into the administrative interface, and that seems to work just fine. I'm not sure why your getting the rejection.

eta: And Jon comes through.

hm, ok, I was stupid to put the yahoo thing in there- I sent it FROM a yahoo account which is why that reference is there. Also, the C&P failed because of the auto formatting. Here's the actual thing:

somervillains@buffistas.org>: 205.214.170.170 does not like recipient. Remote host said: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.7.17) Giving up on 205.214.170.170.

And if it is just a rejection of someone's mailbox in the group, did either of you get the email I sent about Monday night's dinner? If not, then there's a problem...

I had a problem with the DCistas list. I'm not sure that it ever got resolved, since we had our minF2F, so we weren't using it anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm going to nuke somervillains and recreate it. Hold tight.

Mostly lurking...

ita, just got the recreation e-mail. I'll go set things up.

edit: I haven't been able to get in there for a while...I assumed it had something to do with the updates, and I've been too busy to look into it. Sorry guys!
