Buffistas

I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

My hypothesis is that any community that has been online for 6 months or more will result in meatspace friendships among some members.

Yep. Convergence is the annual net.goth meetup. It started out with people from the alt.gothic and alt.gothic.fashion newsgroups, and spread to LJ and various gothy message boards and forums. 2007 is Convergence 13. (And holy mother, am I glad that Seattle didn't actually win the vote for it. We would have thrown a really cool event, but none of the organizers would come out of it with their sanity.)

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

One for the eagles among us: Can an email reception be admitted in court?

A client came to me with this question and I had no answer. My guess was that you needed at least a facsimile of a signature ... then I got lost in the whole "what is a facsimile" thing. Then I went into my English-As-A-Second-Language thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yipes. I think the answer is "you need a lawyer to answer that".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

2007 is Convergence 13.

Yeah yeah, I know. But the fact that the goth community has managed to throw this event 13 times still astonishes me. Goths & organizing tend to be unmixy things.

Emily got some little bugs in her broccoli, I think.

By the way, Emily, I'm picking you up at the airport tomorrow. Send me your flight info.

For those of you keeping score, NYC still hasn't been nuked.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

But are you still alive?

Gus, I see no reason why email reception couldn't be admitted in court. You'd need some statement showing that the email was in the recipient's inbox, and then there would have to be some kind of ruling regarding whether being in someone's inbox and having been opened meant that the recipient could be presumed to have read it and be on notice of its contents.

But the fact that someone received an email? No problem. That is, after all, what all those numbers at the top of the file are--tracking data, yeah?
